Your accident insurance policy with WorkCover Queensland—which covers your business for the cost of any work-related injuries to your workers—is due for renewal. You need to declare your wages information to us by 31 August 2019 so we can calculate your premium.
To ensure you meet your workers’ compensation obligations, it’s important to be aware of who you need to cover, and what payments you need to declare as wages.
Use our Declaration of wages guide to help you determine what you need to declare, or get step-by-step help when you renew online.

Some payment options will not be available if you do not declare your wages by 31 August 2019.

If you’re unsure about what you need to declare as wages, use our online step-by-step declaration option to be guided through the wage declaration process. You will be prompted to include (and exclude) all relevant payments that make up your final wages.
Employers who renew their policy online will be able to get a better understanding of the factors that influence their premium calculation, through our policy snapshot page. By declaring your wages online, you’ll be able to easily see any discounts you may be benefiting from, compare your claims performance to the industry average, and see how changes to key factors (such as wages or industry rate) have influenced your premium.
Your certificate of currency will be attached to your renewal notice that we email to you in early July. If you don’t receive electronic communications from us, or you need another copy throughout the year, you can go online at any time to obtain your certificate of currency.
Queensland employers can continue to enjoy one of the lowest average premium rates in the nation of $1.20 per $100 in wages.
