Psychological injuries can significantly impact your life, but with the right therapy and support, recovery is possible. Our team of experienced psychologists in Queensland specialises in treating work-related mental injuries such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

What is a WorkCover Psychological Injury?

A psychological injury refers to a mental health condition that has developed as a result of work-related factors. These injuries can include:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Adjustment disorders

These psychological or mental injuries can arise from traumatic events at work, such as accidents or violence, or from prolonged exposure to stress, bullying, or challenging work conditions.
