WorkCover Queensland’s target premium rate holds steady for 2025-26

In good news for Queensland businesses, there will be no increase to WorkCover Queensland’s target average net premium rate for the 2025–26 financial year.

The rate will stay at $1.343 per $100 of wages, after discounts, continuing to offer exceptional value for Queensland businesses while maintaining an important safety net for injured workers across the state.

As a government-owned and self-funded insurer, WorkCover Queensland continues to deliver one of the lowest average premium rates in Australia. It also supports a high return-to-work rate, helping nine in 10 Queenslanders injured at work to get back after an injury.
