Each year workers’ compensation entitlements are indexed in accordance with Queensland Ordinary Time Earnings (QOTE) to ensure the appropriate entitlements over time.
QOTE for a financial year is the amount of a Queensland full-time adult person’s ordinary earnings declared by the Australian Statistician in the original series of the publication Average Weekly Earnings Australia most recently published before the start of a financial year.
QOTE for 2024-25 is $1844.70. It will increase by 5.91 per cent to $1953.70 in 2025-26, in accordance with the latest Australian Statistician’s report.
The process for notifying the 2025-26 QOTE amount is underway. The Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation (QOTE) Notice 2025 will have effect from 1 July 2025 and will be available at www.legislation.qld.gov.au.
Further details are available at Workers’ compensation benefits including QOTE or by emailing wcpolicy@oir.qld.gov.au.
