The fact that a worker is interstate or overseas when an injury is sustained does not prevent Queensland workers’ compensation from being payable provided with your employment is connected to Queensland for example by being based here, usually working here or your employer’s principal place of business is here.
For workers from overseas injured in Queensland and Queensland workers injured overseas, access to Queensland workers’ compensation depends on the location of the worker’s usual place of employment.
The site of your employer’s “principal place of business” is also relevant. If you are looking to get a personalised assessment of your entitlement to compensation, contact our Workers Compensation Lawyers and speak to one of our expert lawyers.
