If you are a Commonwealth employee (Australian Public Service, or employee of a Commonwealth authority or licensee) and have a work-related psychological injury, Comcare may cover your psychology sessions — with nothing to pay at any point under the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988 (source). Psychologists listed under Comcare on this site bill Comcare directly.
💡 Comcare is the federal workers' compensation scheme. It is separate from state WorkCover schemes. Your claim must be accepted before treatment costs are covered. Your GP can help with the claims process. Visit Comcare for more information.
