The respondent validly appointed an assessor who applied the AMA Guides (4th ed.) and, supported by peer review, assessed the appellant's whole-person impairment at 5%; because the assessment complied with the statutory regime and 5% is below the 10% statutory threshold in s54, the appellant is not entitled to an independence allowance.
