How much does a WorkCover psychologist cost?

Nothing. If you have an accepted WorkCover claim that includes psychological treatment, your sessions are billed to the insurer. There are no out-of-pocket costs for approved treatment.

Will my employer find out what I discuss in sessions?

No. Your sessions are completely confidential. Your psychologist does not share the content of your conversations with your employer, your insurer, or anyone else. The only information shared is clinical progress reports required for your claim — and these focus on your treatment goals and recovery, not the personal details of what you discuss.

How many psychology sessions does WorkCover cover?

Typically, WorkCover approves an initial block of 6 to 12 sessions. If you need more, your psychologist can request an extension from the insurer with a clinical justification. Many injured workers receive ongoing support for as long as it’s clinically needed.

Can I see a psychologist via telehealth?

Yes. We can book you in person or by telehealth. Telehealth can be particularly helpful if you’re in a regional area, have mobility issues, or simply feel more comfortable speaking from home.

Do I need a referral to see a WorkCover psychologist?

You’ll need a referral from your treating doctor, which can be a WorkCover doctor we book you in with. This is part of the standard WorkCover approval process to ensure your psychological treatment is covered.
