Workers' compensation insurance in Queensland is handled on behalf of all employers by WorkCover Queensland (Forms Page) except where the employer has been granted a license to self-insure.

Only a small number of large employers, who meet specific requirements, are able to self-insure. In order to determine if the employer concerned is self-insured, an inquiry can be made either directly to the employer, or to Q-COMP, which regulates the licensing of self-insurers.
