Frequently Asked Questions

What is WorkCover and how does it support mental health and mental injury treatment?
WorkCover is a workers compensation authority that provides financial support for employees injured or impacted by workplace conditions, including mental health issues like post traumatic stress disorder or other psychological injury from stress or traumatic events. If your condition is work-related, WorkCover may cover the cost of mental health treatments like therapy, psychiatry, or medication. Mental injury claims must be made through your employer and provide supporting documentation, such as a GP or psychiatrist referral, to access benefits from workers compensation and treatment from Monarch Mental Health Group.
Am I eligible for mental injury treatment under WorkCover?
Eligibility for a WorkCover claim or mental health support depends on whether your condition is work-related and your mental health injury claims are approved by the workplace compensation authority. To qualify, you’ll need to demonstrate that workplace factors like traumatic events contributed to your mental health challenges, psychological dysfunction, or mental health injuries. This can include work related stress, trauma, or other job-related pressures. A General Practitioner (GP), medical practitioner, or psychiatrist referral is typically required to assess a worker’s mental injury to assist with a workers compensation claim, and if you contact us today, our team can help guide you through the process of accessing these benefits.
How do I start mental injury treatment with Monarch Mental Health Group under WorkCover?
To start psychological treatment at Monarch Mental Health Group, you’ll need a referral from your GP, medical practitioner, or psychiatrist, about your work-related psychological injury along with an approved WorkCover claim for workers compensation. Once you have these, contact us to schedule your initial consultation. During the consultation, we’ll develop a tailored care plan to address your mental health needs and help you navigate the requirements of WorkCover to ensure seamless access to your treatment and compensation claims.
What types of mental injury treatments are available through WorkCover at Monarch Mental Health Group?
We offer a range of evidence-based treatments for work-related mental health conditions, and mental health injuries including psychiatric services, individual psychological therapy, medication-assisted treatments, and advanced therapies like repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). Your care plan will be personalised based on your diagnosis, symptoms, and recovery goals to ensure the most effective psychological injury treatment options for your situation. We can assist you with accessing WorkCover injury claims and compensation.
What happens if I don’t feel ready to return to work after mental injury treatment?
If you’re not ready to return to work, ongoing support is available from Monarch Mental Health Group. We collaborate with you, your employer, your medical practitioner, and WorkCover to create a return-to-work plan that prioritises your mental health and well-being. If needed, we provide continued therapy, monitoring, and aftercare from trained psychologists to support your recovery from mental health injuries and help you transition back to work at a pace that feels right for you.
