Return-to-work Focus

Already approved, claim pending or not sure?

Psychology already approved

If psychology has already been approved, provide your claim number, insurer or claims contact, approval letter or referral details so the intake team can confirm the next step.

Claim lodged but approval unclear

If your claim has been lodged but psychology approval is unclear, complete the form and upload any certificate, referral or insurer correspondence. Meyer Institute can review what information appears to be missing.

No claim yet

If no claim has been lodged, the usual first step is to see your GP or treating doctor and ask about the correct certificate and claim process for QLD.

Referrer submitting documents

GPs, rehabilitation providers, case managers and insurers can use the referral partner portal to upload claim details, reports, approvals and referral documents.

FAQs

Do I need a Work Capacity Certificate in Queensland?

Before making a workers compensation claim with WorkCover Queensland or a self-insurer, workers usually need a Work Capacity Certificate from a doctor.

Can WorkCover Queensland fund early mental health treatment while a mental injury claim is assessed?

WorkCover Queensland information indicates early mental health treatment may be paid before a mental injury claim is decided in some circumstances. The exact pathway depends on WorkCover Queensland or the relevant self-insurer.

Is there a gap fee?

Only use no-gap wording if Meyer Institute has verified the claim is eligible, psychology is approved and direct billing at the relevant rate is operationally available. Otherwise, state that billing will be confirmed before appointment.

Can I use telehealth?

Telehealth may be suitable for many Queensland workers compensation psychology clients, subject to clinical suitability and funding approval.
