Sec.  25.201  How is the Special Schedule applied for employees in 

Australia?



    (a) The special schedule of compensation established by subpart B of 

this part shall apply in Australia with the modifications or additions 

specified in paragraph (b) of this section, as of December 8, 1941, in 

all cases of injury (or death from injury) which occurred between 

December 8, 1941 and December 31, 1961, inclusive, and shall be applied 

retrospectively in all such cases of injury (or death from injury). 

Compensation in all such cases pending as of July 15, 1946, shall be 

readjusted accordingly, with credit taken in the amount of compensation 

paid prior to such date. Refund of compensation shall not be required if 

the amount of compensation paid in any such case, otherwise than through 

fraud, misrepresentation or mistake, and prior to July 15, 1946, exceeds 

the amount provided for under this paragraph, and such case shall be 

deemed compromised and paid under 5 U.S.C. 8137.

    (b) The total aggregate compensation payable in any case under 

paragraph (a) of this section, for injury or death or both, shall not 

exceed the sum of $4,000, exclusive of medical costs. The maximum 

monthly rate of compensation in any such case shall not exceed the sum 

of $50.

    (c) The benefit amounts payable under the provisions of the 

Commonwealth Employees' Compensation Act of 1930-1964, Australia, shall 

apply as of January 1, 1962, in Australia, as the exclusive measure of 

compensation in cases of injury (or death from injury) according on and 

after January 1, 1962, and shall be applied retrospectively in all such 

cases, occurring on and after such date: Provided, that the compensation 

payable under the provisions of this paragraph shall in no event exceed 

that payable under the FECA.
