6  Matters to be considered in deciding whether to grant a licence—Commonwealth authorities
  The Commission must not grant a licence to a Commonwealth authority, other than to the Australian Capital Territory, under section 104 of the Act, unless the Commission is satisfied that claims will be managed by employees of:
 (a) the applicant; or
 (b) Comcare; or
 (c) a Comcare subsidiary; or
 (d) another Commonwealth authority.

6A Notification of proposed authorisation to accept tail liabilities

       (1)   This section applies if a Commonwealth authority has applied for, or the Commission proposes to grant, a licence that authorises a Commonwealth authority to accept any liability arising under the Act in relation to injury, loss, damage or death that has occurred at a time before the proposed licence will come into force.

       (2)   The Commission must not grant a licence unless it has notified the Minister, in writing, of:

           (a)   the extent to which the Commonwealth authority would be authorised to accept liability under the Act in relation to injury, loss, damage or death that has occurred prior to the commencement of the licence; and

           (b)   the estimated amount of outstanding tail liability that would be assumed by the Commonwealth authority

    under the proposed licence.
