FAQ's
FAQ's
Do I need a referral from my GP?
Yes, you need a referral from your GP or your claims manager to begin seeing one of our psychologists at Peak Psych.
Do I need to pay for my sessions?
No. When you submit a worker’s compensation claim for psychological injury, your GP can refer you to Peak Psych to receive up to 8 free psychological treatment sessions (including your initial consultant session) without pre-approval from the insurer managing your claim. Should you require further treatment after these 8 sessions, your treating psychologist will develop an AHTR plan with you and liaise with your insurer for additional sessions. (treating psychologist or GP can seek approval for additional sessions from the insurer.. )
Can I choose my psychologist?
Yes, you can request a specific psychologist when booking online or over the phone. If your preferred psychologist isn’t available, our support team will connect you with another experienced psychologist on the Peak Psych team who specialises in your needs and preferences.
Is what I speak about in my sessions kept confidential?
Your Peak Psych psychologist will work closely with your recovery and support team to keep them updated on your diagnosis and treatment plans. We’ll focus on strategies to help you recover and improve your health. Personal topics discussed in sessions will only be shared if they are directly related to your recovery.
