Ipswich's economy is driven by defence (RAAF Base Amberley — one of Queensland's largest employers), manufacturing (engineering, timber, food processing), logistics and warehousing (Redbank Plains, Wulkuraka industrial precincts), construction (massive residential growth in Springfield, Ripley Valley, Walloon), healthcare (Ipswich Hospital expansion), and mining services supporting operations in the Surat Basin.

We assist with both WorkCover statutory claims and common law negligence claims where applicable.
