Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003

The employing office may, for the State, enter into and give effect to a work performance arrangement with—

WorkCover; or

the appropriate authority of another government entity or non-Queensland government entity.

A work performance arrangement may make provision for all matters necessary or convenient to be provided under the arrangement.

For example, a work performance arrangement may provide for—

the appointment of a person to an office, and the holding of the office by the person, for the arrangement; and

the authorising of a person to exercise powers for the arrangement; and

whether payment is to be made for work done under the arrangement and, if so, what payment is to be made and who is to make the payment.

A person performing work for WorkCover or other government entity or non-Queensland government entity under a work performance arrangement entered into under subsection (1)—

is not employed by WorkCover or the other government entity or non-Queensland government entity; and

remains an employee of the employing office.

To remove any doubt, it is declared that WorkCover or another government entity or non-Queensland government entity does not have power to employ a person performing work for WorkCover or other government entity or non-Queensland government entity under a work performance arrangement entered into under subsection (1).
