How workers compensation psychology works from Leichhardt
If you live or work in Leichhardt or the surrounding area, the key requirement is that your psychologist holds a SIRA provider number — not that they are physically near you. Telehealth makes geography irrelevant for most claims.
Also looking in nearby areas?
The key requirement is that your psychologist holds a SIRA provider number. This is separate from standard AHPRA registration. Not every psychologist in Leichhardt will have a SIRA number, which is why finding one who is specifically SIRA-approved matters.
Step-by-step: accessing psychology in Leichhardt via your workers comp claim
- Report the injury and see your GP
Notify your employer about the workplace injury in writing. See your GP, who will issue a workers compensation certificate of capacity and can provide a referral to psychology services.
- Ask your GP for a workers compensation referral (not a Medicare MHTP)
A workers compensation referral is separate from a Mental Health Treatment Plan. Tell your GP you want a referral under your workers compensation claim to a SIRA-approved psychologist.
- Contact a SIRA-approved psychologist
You do not need insurer pre-approval for the first contact. The psychologist can see you and then submit an Allied Health Treatment Request (AHTR) to your insurer after the initial session.
- Sessions funded with no out-of-pocket cost
Once approved, sessions are billed directly to icare or your employer's self-insurer at the SIRA gazetted rate. For approved claims, there is no gap fee whether sessions are in-person or via telehealth.
