Definition of injury
The definition of injury has both a general sense, and an extended one.
Injury in the general sense relies on the first part of the definition of injury in section 5 of the Act (injury means any physical or mental injury)
and carries with it no requirement to show that work contributed to it at all.
If not injury in the general sense, the claimed condition must come within the notion of injury in its extended sense:
a disease, which includes any physical or mental ailment, disorder, defect or morbid condition whether it occurred suddenly or developed
gradually
or
Whether an event fits within the notion of injury in its general sense depends on whether it is accompanied by sudden physiological change. This is
a question of fact in each case.
Sudden
physiological
change
There is limited authority on what constitutes sudden physiological change. Courts have generally been asked to consider it in the context of
haemorrhagic strokes, which occur when a blood vessel bursts. They have emphasised that:
The question of whether sudden physiological change is present or not is determined by an examination of the factual circumstances surrounding
the onset of a medical condition and detailed medical evidence as to the internal processes involved in the onset of the condition. It is important to
bear in mind the rationale stated by the courts in stroke cases, that a breaking artery should not be treated differently than a breaking leg.
Diseases and preexisting injuries
If sudden physiological change is not present, a worker must establish an injury in its extended sense.
In its extended sense, injury incorporates a disease, or a recurrence, aggravation, exacerbation or deterioration of a pre-existing injury or disease.
At different times, the Act has stipulated that differing levels of work contribution have to be present for such a condition to constitute an injury.
Between 1/9/85
and 30/11/92
Between 1/12/92
and 2/12/03
From 3 December 2003, heart attack and stroke injuries as defined in Section 5 of the Act, are specifically provided for. Employment must be a
significant contributing factor, irrespective of whether the injury constitutes sudden physiological change, or is connected with a pre-existing
condition or disease, or not.
