Welcome to our twelfth issue of Q-COMP Health
Report, an e-newsletter providing you with important industry
news and information about the Queensland workers' compensation
scheme.
We are fast approaching the end of our financial year and upon
reflection we have had some great challenges and successes. Our
focus on promoting and educating the scheme saw the implementation
of some great initiatives such as the introduction of our Return to
work Conference, Expo and Awards, our participation in exhibiting
and speaking at industry trade displays
across Queensland and our eight month review of the
allied health table of costs.
The new financial year will bring new opportunities and
challenges and in particular with the recently announced scheme
reforms our strategic direction will be focused on remaining
adaptive and proactive to these changes. You can read about how the
scheme changes have affected Return to work assist in this
issue.
In this edition you will also find useful articles about the
recently launched allied health professional's zone and legislation
changes for nurse practitioners and how this will affect you.
Time is running out to nominate either yourself or a
deserving colleague for the Return to work Awards
2010.
We have received over 300 nominations across Queensland and with
nominations closing on Wednesday 2 July 2010 we believe that there
are more inspirational stories that could be shared.
Don't miss out on your chance to be recognised - be sure to get
your nominations in as soon as possible.

Chief Executive Officer
