Do You Have a Right to Legal Representation in Workers’ Comp Proceedings?
Episode 9 of P.I. Case Note looks at National College of Australia v Workers’ Compensation Regulator [2025] QIRC 95, where the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission considered a party’s right to legal representation in proceedings under section 552B of the Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003 (Qld).
This case sheds light on when and how representation is permitted in the QIRC, and the principles that guide whether leave to be legally represented will be granted—especially when procedural fairness and legal complexity are in play.
