Injuries on or after 1 February 2000

The definition of ‘worker’ was amended effective 1 July 2000. There is no longer a requirement that a 'worker' be a PAYE taxpayer. A 'worker' must be employed under a contract of service. Specific inclusions and exclusions are provided in schedule 2 of the WorkCover Queensland Act 1996.
