The Queensland Government is now in caretaker mode until after the Queensland State election. Consistent with 2020 State General Election: Guidelines on the Caretaker Conventions, a decision cannot be made during the caretaker period in relation to new applications received during caretaker period or which were lodged before commencement of the caretaker period, but are awaiting decision. Claims for 26 week and 52 week payments will continue to be assessed and processed during the caretaker period in accordance with existing agreements with the Department. The Back to Work team may contact you during this time if additional information is required in relation to your application.
