Under Queensland workers' compensation legislation, entitlement to weekly statutory compensation payments generally has a maximum legislative cap of up to five years (260 weeks). However, the exact duration a worker can remain on benefits depends heavily on the ongoing assessment of their physical or psychological capacity, medical recovery progress, and rehabilitation milestones. Weekly compensation payments typically cease earlier if the worker fully recovers, returns to work on normal duties, settles a permanent impairment lump-sum claim, or reaches the maximum statutory financial payout limit.
