How workers compensation psychology works from Surry Hills

For a claim based around Surry Hills, a SIRA-approved psychologist can provide sessions by telehealth even when their practice is elsewhere in NSW. Telehealth and in-person sessions use the same SIRA-gazetted rate, while SIRA provider approval remains separate from ordinary AHPRA registration. Confirm those details directly with the practice.

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

The access pathway from Surry Hills follows the same NSW workers compensation process as other suburbs:

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.
