Perrier Ryan • July 19, 2020
WorkCover Queensland today released important information on legislative amendments that came into effect 1 July 2020.
The Queensland Government's five year review identified a number of recommendations to ensure the WorkCover scheme is "well placed to respond to emerging issues into the future".
Matters identified are:
- Reporting of injuries and payments even if a claim is not made
- unpaid interns are now covered under workers' compensation
- Details, qualifications and training of your RRTWC are now required
The information they've prepared about the changes that you may need to make to ensure you have up-to-date practices, can be found here.
The rush toward end of financial year is on us - here are a couple of important things to consider at this time: Maximise your Super One key opportunity in your superannuation strategy is to make the most of your Concessional Contributions - but get them in before 23 June 2025 to ensure they're processed in time. Another valuable opportunity is the carry-forward contributions - remembering that unused cap amounts from the 2019-2020 FY will expire after 30 June 2025 - so this is your last chance to use them. Take Advantage of the $20,000 instant asset write-off before 30 June 2025 If you're a small business owner, now is the time to consider investing in new equipment or assets. The $20,000 instant asset write-off has been extended for the 2024–25 financial year — but it expires on 30 June 2025 and there is currently no confirmed extension beyond this date. This applies to assets that are first used or installed ready for use between 1 July 2024 and 30 June 2025. For more, see our attached information , or, call the office - 3391 7566
