WorkCover may enter into, and give effect to, a work performance arrangement with—

the authorising of a person to exercise powers for the arrangement; and

is not employed by WorkCover; and
remains an employee of the employing office, or an employee of the other government entity or non-Queensland government entity whose appropriate authority is a party to the arrangement.
To remove any doubt, it is declared that WorkCover does not have power to employ a person performing work for WorkCover under a work performance arrangement entered into under subsection (1) .
