Psychology already approved
Send your referral and relevant approval details through the existing enquiry pathway. Include your claim number or claims contact if available so the treatment arrangements can be checked.
Claim pending, or not sure what is needed
You can still make an enquiry. Tell us that your claim or funding is not yet confirmed, and we can clarify the information needed before arranging treatment. An enquiry does not guarantee insurer funding.
Discuss My Referral
Ask About a Video Appointment
Video appointments can make accessing psychology more practical when travel, location, injury or other commitments make clinic attendance difficult.
Psychological support after a workplace injury
Treatment starts with understanding what has happened, how you are functioning now and what you would like help with. Depending on your needs, sessions may focus on:
-
Work-related anxiety, stress or low mood.
-
Distress following a workplace incident, bullying or harassment.
-
Sleep difficulties, concentration and managing day-to-day demands.
-
Adjustment to physical injury, persistent pain or changes in capacity.
-
Confidence, coping and concerns about returning to work.
How WorkCover psychology appointments are arranged
1. Make an enquiry
Contact Meyer Institute with your preferred contact details and a brief explanation of the support you are seeking. You do not need to include a detailed account of a traumatic event in the first enquiry.
2. Confirm the referral and funding pathway
Relevant referral, claim and approval details are checked alongside clinical suitability and appointment options. We will discuss any information still needed and any fees before booking.
3. Meet your psychologist by video
The first appointment is an opportunity to discuss your concerns, current functioning and treatment goals. Ongoing sessions and any necessary communication with your treatment team are discussed with you.
Telehealth psychology across Queensland
Video appointments can make accessing psychology more practical when travel, location, injury or other commitments make clinic attendance difficult.
-
Meyer Institute accepts telehealth enquiries from Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba, Townsville, Cairns and other Queensland communities. These are areas served by video appointments, not a list of physical clinic locations.
-
Telehealth is offered where clinically suitable and consistent with the relevant funding arrangements. You will need a suitable device, a reliable internet connection and a quiet, private place for the appointment.
Treatment focused on recovery and everyday functioning
Recovery is not only about a symptom score. Your goals may include improving sleep routines, building coping skills, managing distress, increasing confidence and returning to meaningful day-to-day activities.
Where relevant, treatment can also explore concerns about returning to work. Any return-to-work planning needs to take account of your clinical presentation, medical advice and the appropriate workplace or rehabilitation arrangements. Psychological treatment does not guarantee a particular recovery date, claim decision or return-to-work outcome.
Referrals, fees and communication
Meyer Institute is an independent psychology practice, not WorkCover Queensland. Insurer funding and claim decisions are made by the relevant insurer or self-insurer, not by the practice.
For funded treatment, send the referral and any relevant approval information already available. Your GP or treating doctor can advise on medical certification and the documents needed for your claim. We can clarify what is required for psychology appointments before you book.
We will discuss your funding arrangements and any fees before booking. Making an enquiry does not mean treatment has been approved or that every service will be covered.
Information is handled in accordance with the practice's privacy policy and professional obligations. Any necessary reports or communication with your GP, insurer or other treating professionals, including the consent arrangements and limits of confidentiality, will be explained to you.
Frequently asked questions
Can I enquire before psychology has been approved?
Yes. You can enquire while your claim or funding is being clarified. Tell us what stage you are at. Treatment and payment arrangements need to be confirmed before an appointment proceeds as a WorkCover-funded service.
Do I need a GP referral?
For WorkCover-funded appointments, the applicable referral and approval requirements need to be checked. Send any referral you already have. Your treating doctor can advise on medical certificates and claim documentation; the practice can explain what it needs to arrange psychology treatment.
Are these appointments in person or online?
This Queensland service is delivered by video for suitable clients. The cities listed on this page describe telehealth coverage, not local Meyer Institute clinics.
Will WorkCover pay for every session or report?
Not automatically. Coverage depends on the claim and approved services. We will discuss the relevant arrangements and any fees before booking or undertaking additional work.
Can treatment help with returning to work?
Treatment may address coping, confidence, injury adjustment and return-to-work concerns. Goals are individual, and decisions about work capacity and workplace arrangements involve the appropriate medical and workplace professionals.
What should I include in my first enquiry?
Your name, contact details, a brief reason for seeking support and any referral or approval information already available. Detailed clinical history can be discussed through the appropriate clinical intake process rather than a marketing enquiry form.
