WorkCover Psychologist
Online appointments.

Telehealth psychological care for people recovering from an approved work-related psychological injury, with insurer requirements and treatment approval confirmed before sessions begin.

Support after a work-related psychological injury

Work-related stress, bullying, harassment, conflict, exposure to traumatic events or a difficult workplace change can affect mood, sleep, confidence and daily functioning. Psychological treatment can provide a structured space to understand what has happened and develop practical strategies for recovery.

Where treatment has been approved, sessions may focus on anxiety, depression, trauma responses, adjustment, communication, coping and safe, sustainable return-to-work goals.

How WorkCover psychology appointments work

Workers' compensation arrangements vary by state, territory, insurer and claim. Before a funded appointment is confirmed, Fern Up may need the claim number, insurer contact, referral or work-capacity documentation, billing approval and any limits placed on the treatment plan.

If approval is not yet in place, contact your insurer or case manager first. Fern Up can provide service information, but cannot determine claim eligibility or promise that an insurer will pay an invoice.

Frequently asked questions

Can I see a WorkCover psychologist online?

Telehealth appointments may be available when online treatment is clinically appropriate and permitted by the relevant insurer or workers' compensation scheme.

Do I need insurer approval before booking?

Usually the claim, referral or certificate requirements and approval for psychology treatment need to be confirmed with the insurer before funded sessions begin. Requirements differ between Australian states and schemes.

What can WorkCover psychology support address?

Depending on the approved claim and treatment plan, sessions may address work-related anxiety, depression, trauma responses, adjustment, coping, recovery and sustainable return-to-work goals.

Is approval guaranteed?

No. Fern Up cannot approve a claim or guarantee payment. The insurer or relevant scheme decides liability and treatment funding, and service suitability must also be confirmed.
