Participation in rehabilitation was measured by some rehabilitation expenditure being recorded as part of the claim cost.
QLD workers were much more likely than their national counterparts to participate in rehabilitation, with a participation rate of nearly 80% in 2008-09, compared to the Australian rate of less than 50%. This difference is typical of the last four years, with the exception of 2006-07 when the rate of rehabilitation participation in QLD dropped to around 35%, in line with the national average.
