218  Matters to be considered in attendant care compensation claims
  In determining whether attendant care services are reasonably required for a person, the Commission must have regard to the following matters:
 (a) the nature of the person's injury or disease;
 (b) the degree to which that injury or disease impairs the person's ability to provide for his or her personal care;
 (c) the extent to which any medical service or nursing care received by the person provides for his or her essential and regular personal care;
 (d) the extent to which the attendant care services are necessary to meet any reasonable wish by the person to live outside an institution;
 (e) the extent to which attendant care services are necessary to enable the person to undertake or continue defence service or any other work;
 (f) any assessment made in relation to the rehabilitation of the person;
 (g) the extent to which a relative of the person might reasonably be expected to provide attendant care services;
 (h) any other matter that the Commission considers relevant.
