WorkCover Psychological Services & Workplace Mental Health Support
Psychological injuries caused by workplace stress, bullying, harassment, trauma, or physical injury can have a significant impact on your wellbeing and ability to work. At Cognitive Assessments Australia, we provide compassionate, evidence-based WorkCover psychological services to support your recovery.
We accept WorkCover referrals and offer psychological treatment for workplace psychological injuries across Victoria and Australia through convenient telehealth services, helping you regain confidence, wellbeing, and everyday functioning.
Supporting Recovery After a Workplace Psychological Injury
Experiencing a psychological injury in the workplace can affect many areas of life, including your emotional wellbeing, confidence, relationships, and ability to work. Recovery can take time, and everyone's experience is different.
We support individuals experiencing a range of workplace mental health challenges, including workplace stress, trauma, bullying, harassment, anxiety, depression, and adjustment difficulties following a workplace injury or incident.
Our goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where you can access evidence-based care, build effective coping strategies, and work towards meaningful recovery at a pace that feels right for you.
Workplace Challenges We Can Help With
Every workplace psychological injury is different. Treatment at Cognitive Assessments Australia is tailored to your individual circumstances and may support challenges such as:
-
Work-related trauma, including exposure to critical incidents or distressing workplace events
-
Workplace stress and adjustment difficulties following changes, conflict, or increased demands
-
Anxiety and depression arising from or worsened by workplace circumstances
-
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) related to workplace experiences
-
Burnout, emotional exhaustion, and ongoing feelings of overwhelm
-
The psychological impact of chronic pain, illness, or a physical workplace injury
-
Workplace bullying, harassment, or other psychologically unsafe experiences
-
Return-to-work anxiety, confidence building, and adjustment back into the workplace
Our workcover counselling and workplace mental health support services are focused on helping individuals regain wellbeing, resilience, and confidence as they move through recovery.

Our Approach to WorkCover Psychological Support
We understand that navigating a WorkCover claim can be stressful and overwhelming, particularly when you are already managing the effects of a workplace psychological injury. Our approach is warm, transparent, and focused on the individual - not the claim.
We provide evidence-based psychological treatment and workcover counselling tailored to your needs, goals, and stage of recovery. We work at your pace, keep communication clear and straightforward, and aim to ensure that support is genuinely helpful rather than simply meeting administrative requirements.
Where required, we provide progress updates and outcome summaries to the referring GP and insurer, and are experienced in the documentation and communication standards expected within the WorkCover system.
What to Expect From the Treatment Process
Initial Consultation
We take time to understand your experiences, workplace challenges, symptoms, and recovery goals to build a clear picture of your individual needs.

During each session, we help you develop coping strategies, manage symptoms, and build confidence while supporting steady progress towards your recovery goals.
Personalised Treatment Plan
Your WorkCover counselling sessions are tailored to your circumstances, with practical strategies that support emotional wellbeing, resilience, and long-term recovery.
Regular Progress Reviews
We regularly review your progress, adjust your treatment plan where needed, and work with you to support meaningful improvements in daily life and work.
Starting psychological treatment can feel like a big step, particularly when you are already managing the impact of a workplace injury. Our aim is to make the process clear, supportive, and focused on your recovery.
