Q-COMP

Following an announcement by Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie in June 2012, the Queensland workers' compensation scheme has undergone a review by a Parliamentary Committee.

The Attorney-General's media release issued on 7 June 2012 explained that for the first time, the five year review would be conducted by the Finance and Administration Committee of Parliament and would look at performance of the scheme here in Queensland, how our scheme compares to other states and they will also look at the 2010 Structural Review of Institutional and Working Arrangements in Queensland Workers' Compensation Scheme to see whether previous recommendations and changes are performing as expected.

On 23 May 2013, following the revision of the original February deadline, the Committee tabled their report and recommendations in Parliament.

The full report including recommendations can be found on the Parliament's website. All submissions to the review, including Q-COMP's, can also be found on the Parliament's website.

Q-COMP is currently reviewing the report in detail to better understand the next steps required of our organisation if the recommendations are approved by the Minister and Cabinet.

Q-COMP played an active role in the review by providing clear and informative submissions to the Committee, and is pleased to have been involved in such a robust and transparent process.

If there are any matters where you think Q-COMP can assist in clarifying your understanding of the review or the Queensland workers' compensation scheme, let us know.
