Victoria has a particularly strong early-support message because mental injury claims may be eligible for provisional payments for reasonable mental health treatment while the claim is being assessed. This should be described carefully as a possible pathway, not as a guarantee.

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 VIC.

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.

Psychology support for work-related psychological injury and recovery

This service may be suitable for workers experiencing:

Work-related stress, anxiety or panic
Psychological injury after bullying, harassment, conflict or workplace events
Trauma symptoms after a workplace incident or exposure to distressing events

Adjustment to physical injury, chronic pain, fatigue or reduced capacity

Step 3:

Provide your WorkCover claim number, WorkSafe agent or self-insurer details, certificate, referral and any approval emails.

Step 4:

We review whether Meyer Institute can assist and confirm appointment options, documentation and billing pathway.

FAQs

Can I start before my Victorian mental injury claim is accepted?

In some Victorian mental injury claims, provisional payments may allow reasonable mental health treatment while the claim is assessed. The exact position depends on WorkSafe Victoria, the agent or self-insurer, your certificate/referral and claim details.

What documents help for a WorkSafe Victoria psychology enquiry?

Helpful documents include your WorkCover claim number, Certificate of Capacity, GP referral or request for psychology, agent/self-insurer details and any claim acceptance, provisional payment or approval emails.

Can I attend in person in Melbourne?

Yes, in-person options may be available at selected Melbourne locations depending on suitability and availability. Telehealth is also available across Victoria.

Is Meyer Institute part of WorkSafe Victoria?

No. Meyer Institute is an independent psychology practice. WorkSafe Victoria, the agent or self-insurer determines funding and approval decisions.
