WorkCover and WorkSafe Psychology in Victoria

Telehealth WorkCover Psychology Across Victoria
Online WorkCover psychologist appointments by video are available for suitable clients throughout Victoria.
This can be particularly useful where travelling is difficult, where the client lives outside metropolitan Melbourne, or where work, injury or other circumstances make attending a clinic less practical.
For a video appointment, choose a quiet private space and use a phone, tablet or computer with a camera, microphone and reliable internet. We send the session link after confirming your appointment. Let us know about any communication or access needs. Early sessions explore the work injury, symptoms, daily functioning and recovery goals; ongoing therapy can address coping, sleep, confidence, pain adjustment and return-to-work concerns. Please have your referral, claim number, insurer or agent details and any approval correspondence ready. We agree on fees and any report requirements before starting.
