A compliance response by WorkCover under s 282 of the WorkCover Queensland Act 1996 confirming that a notice of claim complies with s 280 is limited to formal compliance and does not constitute a representation that the claim is governed by the WorkCover Act rather than the Motor Accident Insurance Act 1994. Documents required by s 280(8) must accompany the notice for it to be complying, regardless of whether the claimant has them in possession, though WorkCover may waive non-compliance. Where non-compliance is waived, the six-month period for the s 285 response runs from the date of waiver.
