Decision
[1] In accordance with Chapter 5 Division 2 of the Industrial Relations Act 1999 ("the Act") (i.e. the Modern Award provisions of the Act) and the Request under s 140C(1) - Award Modernisation by the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, the Award Modernisation Team ("AMOD Team") of the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission has prepared an Exposure Draft of a proposed WorkCover Queensland Employees Award - State 2014 ("Proposed Award").
[2] The Proposed Award was prepared by the AMOD Team in consultation with WorkCover Queensland and Together Queensland, Industrial Union of Employees.
[3] Deputy President Bloomfield referred a finalised version of the Proposed Award to the Vice President for referral to a Full Bench of the Commission indicating that the abovementioned organisations had reached agreement on the terms of the Proposed Award. The Vice President referred the Proposed Award to this Full Bench for hearing and the matter was listed today.
[4] We have been advised that the Proposed Award complies with the Act.
[5] We are advised that the Workers' Compensation Queensland Award - State 2012 is an award of the Commission which has current application and will thus be repealed upon the making of any modern award, subject to the provisions of s 824 of the Industrial Relations Act 1999.

That the WorkCover Queensland Employees Award - State 2014 operate on and from 31 August 2014;

Relations Act 1999.
