Job description

WorkCover Queensland is entering an exciting new chapter, guided by a renewed strategic focus and strong executive leadership shaping our 2030 Strategy. We’re embarking on an enterprise-wide transformation to strengthen our impact and continue making a positive difference in people’s lives.

The Opportunity

In this rewarding role, you'll manage a portfolio of workers' compensation claims, providing exceptional service to injured workers, employers, and healthcare providers. Based from our modern Brisbane CBD office, you'll collaborate with a dynamic team committed to achieving positive outcomes.
