Apply for an Injury Payment Profile (IPP)
An Injury Payment Profile (IPP) gives a history of workers'
compensation claims.
In Queensland, it's illegal for employers to access, or to ask a
worker to supply their claims history:
- when they are applying for a job
- for questions of continuing employment.
This does not apply to a workers' compensation document about a
worker's capacity to work-like an application for compensation or
claim for damages-if the document is necessary for rehabilitation
or early return to work.
