Sickness days before consulting a DAME

[JetRacer]

Hi all,
I have been searching the CARs and CAOs online trying to find where it is written about sickness for CPL holders and above, and PPL holders.
Can anybody help with a reference, or quote the max times off sick before you have to see a DAME before re-commencing flying duties?
I had some 'numbers' in my head from wayyyyyyyyyyyyy back but unsure if they are correct!:sad:
Thanks in advance
JetRacer

From CASR 1998, Part 67 (my bolding)Subpart 67.D Responsibilities of medical certificate holders
67.265 Obligation to tell CASA of changes in medical condition

licence means a licence of any of the following kinds:
(a) flight crew licence;
(b) special pilot licence;
(c) flight radiotelephone licence;
(d) air traffic controller licence.

medically significant condition that affects a person’s vision, a DAO.
(3) If:
(a) the holder of a class 1 medical certificate and a licence:
(i) knows that he or she has a medically significant condition;
and
(ii) is reckless as to whether the condition has been disclosed
to CASA; and
(b) the condition continues for longer than 7 days; and
(c) the condition has the result that his or her ability to do an act
authorised by the licence is impaired;
he or she must tell CASA or a DAME about the condition as soon as
practicable after the end of the 7 days.
Penalty: 50 penalty units.

(c) the condition has the result that his or her ability to do an act
authorised by the licence is impaired;
he or she must not do the act until a DAME certifies that the holder
can safely do such acts.
Penalty: 50 penalty units.
Note If the holder of a medical certificate tells a DAME about a medically
significant condition, and the condition is safety-relevant, the DAME must tell
CASA in writing of that fact within 5 working days — see regulation 67.125.
(6) It is a defence to a prosecution under subregulation (5) that, in the
circumstances, the relevant act was a reasonable measure to save life
(including the holder’s own life) or avoid damage to property.
