WorkCover Queensland functions as the main statutory workers' compensation insurer for the state, operating under a no-fault scheme framework governed by state legislation. When an employee is injured at work, they report the incident, submit a medical certificate, and file a claim. If accepted, WorkCover manages the claim by covering approved medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and weekly wage replacements while the employee recovers. Simultaneously, WorkCover and the employer collaborate on a workplace rehabilitation and return-to-work plan to safely reintegrate the employee into suitable duties as soon as medical clearances allow.
