The Commission's claim page says an accident outside Queensland involving a Queensland-registered vehicle follows the claims process of the accident place, while the claim is lodged with and managed by the Queensland insurer. An accident in Queensland involving a vehicle registered outside Queensland is claimed under the Queensland scheme, lodged with and managed by the outside insurer. The Queensland notice must be the PDF, not the portal.
