Regional network program

The Q-COMP Regional network program has been designed to provide on the ground support for our regional stakeholders by appointing local representatives from across the state.

 

At present we have appointed ten Regional Representatives throughout Queensland, with more locations planned for the near future.

 

With professional backgrounds in workplace rehabilitation and allied health our representatives will ensure our stakeholders receive quality advice and the most relevant assistance possible.

 

Based in regional Queensland, they are in the best position to truly understand the needs of each location, and have been appointed to deliver education, support and resources to their local communities on our behalf.

 

Check out the events page to see the events we are currently running and if any are available in your area.

 

For more information about the program call 1300 361 235 or email:

 

Sonia Minniecon

Education and Engagement Manager
