Yes, unlike several other Australian states, Queensland legislation permits "journey claims," meaning workers are generally covered by WorkCover QLD if they sustain an injury while on an ordinary daily commute between their home and their regular workplace. This statutory protection also extends to authorized journeys for job-related training, travel between two separate employers, or trips for approved medical treatments. Nonetheless, cover can be forfeited if the worker introduces substantial, unreasonable personal deviations, long interruptions, or engages in reckless or unlawful behavior during the transit.
