How much does a WorkCover psychologist cost?

Nothing. If you have an accepted WorkCover claim that includes psychological treatment, your sessions are fully covered by 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. Our psychologists do 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, our 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. Our psychologists offer both in-person and telehealth sessions. 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 one of our WorkCover doctors. This is part of the standard WorkCover approval process to ensure your psychological treatment is covered.

WorkCover Psychologist in Padstow Heights

Confidential psychological support for workplace injuries.

If you're experiencing workplace stress, anxiety, or a psychological injury in Padstow Heights or the Canterbury-Bankstown area, our WorkCover psychologists can help. Sessions are completely confidential and fully covered by your WorkCover claim. A workers compensation psychological claim covers therapy, supporting medical reports and any prescribed medication — at no cost to you.

Padstow Heights leans on a tradie demographic working out of utes parked along Faraday Road, with builders, electricians and plumbers servicing renovation jobs across the southern Bankstown belt. Many residents also commute to the Milperra industrial estate. Falls from ladders, knee injuries and back strains drive most of the workers compensation activity locally, with healthcare staff from nearby Padstow facilities adding a second cluster of claims.
