If you have been affected by a workplace injury, psychological stress, or are finding it hard to cope after a work-related incident, our psychology team is here to help.

We provide WorkCover psychology services in Brisbane and on the Sunshine Coast, with appointments available for people needing support after a workplace injury or during the recovery and return-to-work process. Our psychologists are experienced in supporting clients with work-related presentations and understand the importance of timely, practical, professional care.

How We Can Help

Our psychologists support adults experiencing emotional, behavioural, and psychological difficulties related to a workplace injury or claim. This may include support for:

• stress related to a workplace incident
• adjustment after injury
• anxiety symptoms
• low mood or depression symptoms
• trauma-related symptoms
• sleep difficulties
• pain-related coping challenges
• fear about returning to work
• workplace conflict or distress linked to injury recovery
• reduced confidence, routine, or daily functioning after an injury

Treatment is tailored to the individual, their presentation, and the goals of care. Where appropriate, we work collaboratively with the client, referrer, treating doctor, and broader support team.

Experienced WorkCover Psychologists

We understand that when someone is struggling after a workplace injury, timely access to care matters. Our clinic offers psychology appointments for WorkCover clients in Brisbane and Sunshine Coast locations, with a focus on responsive communication and practical support.

Our team is experienced in working with:

• workers with accepted or in-progress WorkCover matters
• clients managing the psychological impact of a physical injury
• clients with primary psychological injuries
• referrers seeking prompt appointment availability
• return-to-work stakeholders who need clear communication and coordinated care

We aim to make the process as clear and straightforward as possible for both clients and referrers.

For Clients: What the Process Looks Like

1. Contact our clinic

You or your referrer can contact us to ask about availability, locations, telehealth options, and what documents may be needed before booking.

2. Provide your referral and claim details

In many cases, we will need your referral information and any relevant WorkCover or insurer details before confirming the appointment. In Queensland, workers often start with their GP, who can assess them, provide a work capacity certificate if needed for a claim, and refer for mental health treatment where appropriate.

3. We confirm the booking

Our admin team will help schedule your appointment and let you know what to bring or send through before your first session.

4. Attend your psychology appointment

Your psychologist will take the time to understand what has been happening, how you have been affected, and what support may be appropriate for your situation.

5. Ongoing care and communication

Where clinically appropriate and with the required consent, communication may occur with relevant treating parties or referrers to support coordinated care.

• GPs
• WorkCover case managers
• rehabilitation providers

Support for Workers Recovering After Physical or Psychological Injury

Some people seek psychology support because they have experienced a work-related mental injury. Others come because they are struggling emotionally after a physical workplace injury, pain condition, or prolonged claim process.

Psychology support may assist with:

• coping strategies
• emotional adjustment
• anxiety and stress management
• recovery planning
• confidence building
• return-to-work readiness
• improving day-to-day functioning

Every worker’s presentation is different. The focus of care will depend on the person’s needs, referral information, and clinical assessment.
