Queensland operates a CTP scheme administered by MAIC, with general damages calculated using the Injury Scale Value (ISV) framework under the Civil Liability Regulation 2014. For fracture claims specifically, the band is built from the state-by-state CTP and Civil Liability Acts framework and then adjusted for Queensland's common-law contributory reduction and any applicable statutory cap.
