Supporting recovery within WorkCover frameworks

Tele Psych provides WorkCover psychological therapy for employees approved under workers compensation schemes across Australia. We work closely with NSW SIRA, QLD WorkCover and VIC WorkSafe pathways to ensure treatment is compliant, timely and focused on recovery and return to function. Our services are designed for workers who require ongoing mental health treatment following a workplace injury, psychological stressor or work related trauma.

Accessing a WorkCover psychologist through Tele Psych begins with a referral from your GP or treating doctor. Once your claim is accepted, psychological therapy is approved through your insurer or case manager. Our team understands the administrative and clinical requirements involved, which allows us to support both the worker and the insurer throughout the treatment process. We accept approved referrals and can often offer immediate availability for workers compensation therapy, helping to reduce delays in care.

Our clinicians are experienced in providing WorkCover mental health treatment via secure telehealth. This allows workers to access consistent therapy regardless of location, mobility limitations or work restrictions. Treatment is practical, goal focused and aligned with WorkCover expectations for measurable progress and functional improvement.

How WorkCover psychological therapy works

WorkCover psychological therapy is structured to support recovery while ensuring accountability and communication across all parties. After receiving a referral, Tele Psych coordinates with the insurer or case manager to confirm approval, treatment duration and reporting requirements. Therapy then commences according to the approved plan, with sessions delivered by an experienced workers compensation psychologist.

Treatment plans are individualised and evidence based. Depending on clinical needs, therapy may include cognitive behavioural therapy, trauma focused interventions, stress management, adjustment support or strategies to manage anxiety, depression and workplace related psychological injury. Our psychologists focus on building coping skills, restoring confidence and supporting sustainable return to work outcomes where appropriate.

Progress reporting is a core component of WorkCover therapy. Tele Psych provides clear and timely updates to insurers and case managers, outlining engagement, clinical progress and functional outcomes. Where required, we participate in clinical reviews and collaborate with other treating providers to ensure care remains aligned with WorkCover guidelines. If additional sessions are clinically indicated, we support the re approval process with appropriate documentation.

 

Throughout treatment, workers are supported with clear communication and a respectful, trauma informed approach. Our goal is to reduce barriers to recovery while maintaining compliance with workers compensation requirements.

Why choose Tele Psych for WorkCover mental health treatment

Tele Psych has extensive experience working within WorkCover systems, including SIRA psychologist pathways in NSW and WorkSafe psychologist frameworks in Victoria. We understand the balance between clinical care, administrative processes and recovery expectations. This experience allows us to deliver effective therapy while reducing friction for workers, insurers and employers.

Immediate availability for approved referrals is a key advantage. Long wait times can delay recovery and increase distress. Tele Psych prioritises timely access to a WorkCover psychologist so treatment can begin as soon as approval is in place. Telehealth delivery also offers flexibility, consistency and privacy, which can be particularly beneficial for workers managing physical injury, fatigue or workplace anxiety.

Our psychologists are focused on therapy rather than assessment only services. We provide ongoing psychological treatment aimed at recovery, resilience and functional improvement. This includes support for work related stress, bullying, burnout, trauma exposure, injury adjustment and mood related conditions arising from the workplace.

We also place strong emphasis on communication. Tele Psych maintains professional relationships with insurers, case managers and referrers, ensuring that reporting is accurate, clinically relevant and delivered on time. This collaborative approach supports smoother claim management and better outcomes for workers.

For workers seeking a trusted WorkCover psychologist, and for referrers looking for reliable workers compensation therapy providers, Tele Psych offers a structured, compliant and compassionate service. Our focus is on helping workers recover, regain confidence and move forward with the right psychological support in place.
