Workcover Psychologist Gold Coast

Registered with WorkCover, our Gold Coast Psychologist, Dr Mark Bartholomew, delivers psychological treatments to support employees injured through employment-related incidents. With a focus on supporting client who have suffered psychological and physical injuries in the workplace and those looking for Workcover psychology, we aim to guide our clients through the process of getting back on their feet both mentally and physically. 

Getting involved with Workcover because of an injury at work can be confusing and overwhelming. Most people who find themself on Workcover haven't been involved with the insurer in the past, and understanding how your claim will progress and what will be involved can be a challenge. The Workcover system can be a maze. With our experience of working with Workcover referred clients, we aim to keep clients informed about their claim, share our knowledge of the processes involved in workplace psychological injuries, explain what might be involved as the claim progresses, and we're there to support clients when things become complicated or protracted. 

We welcome referrals and enquiries from GPs, as well as insurers, rehabilitation providers, solicitors or even employers. We provide psychological assessments and psychological treatment for those experiencing mental health concerns that are associated with workplace physical and psychological injuries.
