Representing workers, claimants
and employers who are appealing against a Q-COMP review decision on
a claims matter
Workers, claimants and employers who are unhappy with Q-COMP's
review decision can appeal to the Queensland Industrial Relations
Commission (s. 549 Workers' Compensation and Rehabilitation Act
2003).
If you are representing a worker or claimant, they have the
right to be joined as a party to the employer's appeal. If you are
representing an employer, they may be entitled to apply to the
Commission to appear and be heard in the proceedings on the
worker's appeal.
The appeal must be filed in with the appeal body within 20
business days of receiving the review decision.
Within 10 business days of it being filed with the appeal body,
you should serve a copy of the Notice of Appeal on Q-COMP.
