The Bill was introduced in response to a review of WorkCover Queensland and enacts several significant changes to the Workers' Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003 (Qld), the Workers' Compensation and Rehabilitation Regulation 2003 (Qld) and the Workplace Heath and Safety Act 1995 (Qld) with the aim of maintaining the viability of the Queensland Workers Compensation Scheme.
