In the July 2015 Insurance newsletter,1 the range of amendments to be introduced into the Workers’ Compensation & Rehabilitation Act 2003 (Qld) (WCRA) was discussed following the introduction of the Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2015 (Qld) into parliament in July this year.

These changes have now been introduced in the Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2015 (Qld), which was assented to on 24 September 2015.

As foreshadowed, the proposed changes significantly wind back some of the amendments which were introduced in 2013.
