How workers compensation psychology works from Leichhardt

For workers compensation psychology from Leichhardt, the practical requirement is SIRA approval, not a clinic address in the same suburb. Telehealth lets clients see a SIRA-approved psychologist elsewhere in NSW, and telehealth sessions use the same SIRA-gazetted rate as in-person sessions. SIRA provider approval is separate from standard AHPRA registration, so confirm provider status directly before booking.

Step-by-step: accessing psychology in Leichhardt via your workers comp claim

Workers compensation psychology access in Leichhardt generally starts with these steps:

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.
