WorkCover Psychologist — Workers Comp Psychology No Gap Fee

If you have a work-related psychological injury, your state or territory workers' compensation scheme may cover psychology sessions — with nothing to pay at any point (source). Psychologists listed under WorkCover on this site bill your insurer directly.

💡 Your claim must be accepted before treatment costs are covered. Your GP can help with the claims process. Select your state below for scheme-specific information.

WorkCover is managed by each state and territory. Select your location for specific guidance:

• NSW — SIRA / icare
• VIC — WorkSafe Victoria
• QLD — WorkCover Queensland
• WA — WorkCover WA
• SA — ReturnToWorkSA
• ACT — ACT Workers Comp
• TAS — WorkCover Tasmania
• NT — NT Workers Comp

Commonwealth employees (APS, Commonwealth authorities)? Your scheme is Comcare, not a state WorkCover scheme. See our Comcare psychologist guide for specific information.

Regardless of your state, the process is similar:

1. Report the injury to your employer as soon as possible
2. See your GP — get a WorkCover medical certificate and tell them your injury is work-related
3. Lodge a claim through your employer or directly with your state's scheme
4. Await claim acceptance — insurers must decide usually within 28 days
5. Start treatment — once accepted, find a WorkCover psychologist on this site

All psychologists listed under WorkCover on this site offer (see how gap-free psychology works):

• No gap fee — your employer's insurer pays the full cost, so you pay nothing at any point
• Direct billing to the insurer — no upfront payment, nothing to pay at any point
• Injury-specific treatment — focused on your work-related psychological condition
• Return-to-work support — helping you get back to work when you're ready
