A reference to 'current work capacity' means a present inability arising from the injury such that the worker is able to return to his or her pre-injury employment, or is able to return to work in suitable employment, but the weekly amount the worker has the capacity to earn in any such employment is less than the weekly amount that the worker had the capacity to earn in that employment immediately before the injury.

For workers injured before 21 October 2019, refer to the definition of 'current work capacity' in section 32A of the Workers Compensation Act 1987 in force immediately before 21 October 2019.
