If the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission or Industrial
Court decides that an insurer is not liable to pay compensation to
a worker or claimant, then that worker or claimant who received
compensation doesn't have to pay it back to the insurer
(s.566, Workers' Compensation and Rehabilitation Act
2003).
Note: this does not apply in cases where the
worker is convicted of fraud.
Employers should contact their insurer to discuss the
financial impact of the decision.
