ACT workers compensation psychologist by telehealth
Video psychology enquiries for workers covered by the ACT workers compensation scheme. We check your insurer, medical referral, proposed treatment and approval before confirming a funded appointment.
Psychology focused on recovery
A work injury can affect sleep, mood, confidence, concentration, relationships and daily routines. Sessions explore your needs and goals, including work-related stress, trauma symptoms, low mood or adjustment to physical injury. An individual assessment guides the treatment approach and progress is reviewed with you.
The Australian Capital Territory claim pathway
ACT private-sector workers compensation is provided through licensed insurers and self-insurers. Some Canberra workers are instead covered by Comcare or another scheme. Tell us the scheme stated on your claim so we can assess the correct treatment and billing pathway.
Video appointments and treatment approval
Telehealth suitability and funding are checked with the responsible insurer or self-insurer. We discuss your clinical needs, privacy, technology, reporting and appointment options before treatment begins. A Canberra address does not identify your compensation scheme on its own.
What helps us arrange your appointment
This ACT pathway does not offer NSW workers compensation treatment. If you live in Queanbeyan or elsewhere in NSW, tell us your physical location and claim scheme before booking. NSW workers compensation referrals are not being accepted pending the required accreditation.
- Medical referral for psychology
- ACT claim number and licensed insurer or self-insurer details
- Current medical certificate or capacity information, where relevant
- Case manager contact and written treatment or telehealth approval, if available
Clear fees, consent and communication
Before treatment, we clarify the authorised services, who pays, the agreed fees and any personal cost. Reports, case conferences and communication with the insurer or treating team are discussed, including consent and confidentiality. Any work outside the funded scope is agreed before it is undertaken.
Access across Australian Capital Territory
Suitable video appointments can support workers in Canberra, Belconnen, Gungahlin, Woden, Tuggeranong and other ACT locations. These are telehealth service areas, not claims of a local office in every location. Tell us where you will be physically located for your appointment and which scheme covers the injury.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use telehealth for ACT workers compensation psychology?
Telehealth suitability and funding are checked with the responsible insurer or self-insurer. We discuss your clinical needs, privacy, technology, reporting and appointment options before treatment begins. A Canberra address does not identify your compensation scheme on its own.
What should I send before booking?
Start with your contact details, the scheme on your claim, insurer or case manager, and a brief description of the support you need. We explain how to supply the referral and claim documents through the agreed intake process.
Will there be an out-of-pocket cost?
The authorised service, fee and billing arrangements are confirmed before booking. We can discuss direct billing where available, but do not assume all sessions, reports or cancellations are insurer-funded.
Can you decide whether my claim is accepted?
No. Claims and funding decisions are made by the responsible insurer or scheme. Psychological assessment and treatment address clinical needs; they do not guarantee a claim, payment or employment outcome.
How do referrals from a GP or case manager work?
Referrers can send the medical referral, claim and insurer details, the purpose of treatment and any current approval. With appropriate consent, we can clarify treatment goals and communication needs with the treating team.
