Labour-hire arrangements can involve more than one business, which can make workplace safety responsibilities more complex.

A recent Queensland Court of Appeal decision examined the responsibilities of both a labour-hire employer and a host business following a workplace injury. The case highlights how the actual system of work, training, supervision and site conditions can be relevant when responsibility is assessed.

Our Knowledge Base article breaks down the decision and what it means for labour-hire arrangements across industries such as construction, mining, logistics and other site-based work.

When a WorkCover claim is rejected in Queensland, WorkCover must provide a written decision explaining the reasons for that outcome.

That decision is important because it identifies what was not accepted and the basis for the decision. A review of the decision may also be available, with strict time limits applying.

Our Knowledge Base article explains what a WorkCover rejection means, common reasons a claim may be denied, the review process and the key deadlines involved.

Has a CTP insurer refused to fund treatment recommended by your doctor?
A refusal does not always mean the issue is over. In Queensland, treatment requests may need to be assessed against whether the service is reasonable and appropriate rehabilitation in the circumstances, particularly where liability has been admitted.

The article explains that a refusal may still be reviewed in light of the medical evidence, the treating practitioner’s reasoning, the treatment history, and the insurer’s stated objections. It also looks at how WorkCover decisions and insurer medical opinions may be relevant without necessarily determining the outcome on their own.

Our Knowledge Base article provides an overview of when treatment refusals may be challenged and what evidence can help support a request for rehabilitation services.

Fraud generally involves deliberate dishonesty during a workers compensation matter. Examples can include knowingly hiding employment or income, submitting false expense claims, misrepresenting work capacity or providing information known to be untrue.

Importantly, an inconsistency, poor recollection or administrative mistake does not automatically establish fraud. The person’s knowledge, intention and the surrounding evidence are relevant to how the conduct is assessed.

Under Queensland law, a fraud conviction can carry significant consequences, including:

💠 Up to five years’ imprisonment or 500 penalty units
💠Repayment of money obtained through the offence
💠Prosecution costs
💠A recorded criminal conviction
💠In certain circumstances, loss of statutory compensation and common law damages rights

The article also looks at two Queensland prosecutions finalised in May 2026 and explains why accurate information and disclosure of changes during a WorkCover matter are important.

Whiplash is commonly associated with motor vehicle accidents, but it can also arise from workplace incidents, falls and other accidents.

In Queensland, the process that applies depends on how the injury occurred.

A motor vehicle accident may fall under the CTP insurance scheme, while a workplace injury may be managed through WorkCover Queensland or an employer’s insurer.

Injuries arising in public places can involve a separate public liability process.

Each pathway has its own forms, requirements and time limits. For example, the article explains that CTP, WorkCover and public liability matters have different lodgement requirements, even though a separate three-year limitation period may also be relevant in some circumstances.

Our Knowledge Base provides an overview of whiplash matters in Queensland, including the different legal pathways, claim processes, medical evidence and relevant time limits.

Can prescribed medicinal cannabis costs be considered as part of a Queensland injury matter? 𝗣𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆. However, having a prescription does not automatically mean the cost will be funded or recoverable.

Medicinal cannabis expenses may be considered in WorkCover, CTP and common law matters, depending on the circumstances and supporting evidence.

Relevant factors may include:
💠Whether the treatment relates to the injury
💠Why it was prescribed
💠Whether other treatments have been tried
💠Evidence of measurable benefit
💠Dosage and expected duration
💠Treatment costs and supporting records
💠Ongoing medical review

Queensland courts may also consider the strength of the medical evidence, the reasonableness of the treatment and whether there is an ongoing need.

Our Knowledge Base explains how medicinal cannabis expenses may be assessed in Queensland injury matters.

Different time limits can apply at different stages of a personal injury matter in Queensland, including CTP claims.

For motor vehicle accident matters, there may be separate timeframes for steps such as lodging a Notice of Accident Claim and commencing court proceedings. The applicable deadline can depend on the circumstances of the matter, so it is important to understand which timeframe applies at each stage.

Our Knowledge Base article explains limitation periods in Queensland personal injury claims, including how different deadlines may apply across motor vehicle accident, workers compensation and public liability matters.
