WorkCover & Motor Accident Psychologist
Workplace injuries and motor vehicle accidents can have significant psychological effects - including PTSD, depression, anxiety and difficulties adjusting to changes in daily function. These are recognised injuries that warrant the same level of care as physical ones.

Psychological therapy for the mental health consequences of workplace injury or motor vehicle accidents
Formal psychological assessments documenting the nature and functional impact of psychological injury
Reports and clinical documentation for case managers, treating practitioners and legal teams
Coordination with WorkCover, SIRA and other relevant parties

Depression and mood difficulties

Accidental death
We have a specific interest in working with people who have caused accidental death - through a vehicle accident, workplace incident, or other unforeseen event. These individuals often carry a particular combination of grief, guilt and moral injury that is distinct from other types trauma and is poorly served by generic treatment approaches. If this applies to your situation, please get in touch.
Working with other practitioners
We work with GPs, rehabilitation consultants, occupational therapists, case managers and legal teams as needed. We understand WorkCover and SIRA reporting requirements and provide clear, timely documentation.
