If you obtain a WorkCover or Comcare medical certificate from your Treating Doctor indicating a recommendation that you see a Psychologist, you can contact us to receive these services at no cost to you.
In discussion with you, we will designate an appropriate Psychologist and we will seek approval for treatment from your insurer if required.
We will work with you, your doctor, and insurer, to assist in prompt assessment and treatment toward your psychological health.
