MAT Quarterly, Summer 2012
Welcome to the Summer edition of the MAT Quarterly. In this
edition we provide an update on the iPad roll out, discuss the
recent regional tribunals and our payment policy for cancelled and
half tribunals.
We also congratulate the winners of the Return to work Awards
2011, and showcase their contributions to return to work culture in
Queensland.
It's been a big year for Q-COMP and we really appreciate your
hard work and support, particularly when it comes to embracing new
initiatives like the iPad project. Having your backing has made
introducing the new technology a great success.
Lastly, we'd like to wish you a safe and merry Christmas - we
look forward to working with you again in the new year.
