Why should I see a psychologist after a motor vehicle injury?

When someone is involved in a motor vehicle injury - whether it be as a driver, passenger or pedestrian - they may experience a range of changes to their mental and physical health. For some, these changes resolve relatively quickly while for others the impact of the motor vehicle injury can have long-lasting effects.

​

If you have been involved in a motor vehicle injury and are struggling with your mental health, you may benefit from seeing a psychologist. Under your TAC (Victoria) or CTP (New South Wales) claim, your insurer may approve you for psychological treatment.

​

Do you see clients under TAC (VIC) and CTP (NSW)?

Yes - I am approved to see clients who have either a TAC (VIC) or CTP (NSW) motor vehicle injury claim.

​

Are you a SIRA approved psychologist?

Yes

​

How many sessions can I use?

The number of sessions you can use under your motor vehicle injury claim will depend on your individual situation and what your insurer will approve.

​​

What do I need for my initial consultation?

You will need the following details prior to booking your initial consultation:

1. Your motor vehicle injury claim details

2. The date of your motor vehicle injury

3. A referral from your GP or nominated treating doctor

4. Written approval from your insurer to attend the initial consultation

​​

Do I need to pay anything?

No. While you have an existing motor vehicle injury claim, and if your insurer has approved you to see a psychologist, then your insurer will be billed directly for the treatment sessions and any associated costs relevant to your claim.
