Return to work psychology

Return to work psychologists understand the workers' compensation system, insurer expectations, and occupational health frameworks. They work collaboratively with employers, treating doctors, and rehabilitation coordinators as part of a multidisciplinary team something that general counselling typically doesn't involve.

This varies depending on the nature and severity of the psychological condition, how long the worker has been absent, and their individual circumstances. Many workers see significant improvement within 6 to 12 sessions, though some complex cases require longer-term support.

Yes. Psychological treatment is a claimable benefit under WorkCover Queensland and most other compensation schemes, provided it is deemed reasonably necessary for the worker's recovery. We can assist with the approval process.

Absolutely. We offer secure, confidential telehealth sessions for workers who prefer not to attend in person or who are unable to due to their injury, location, or schedule. Telehealth is accepted by most insurers and funding bodies.
