Work and psychological health

Workplace issues that can affect mental health.

Some injuries follow a single event. Others develop through repeated exposure or pressure. These pages help explain the health concerns without assuming every situation leads to a WorkCover claim.

Start with health and safety.

If work is affecting your health, speak with your GP. If a risk is continuing, raise it through appropriate workplace or safety channels. A union, adviser or regulator can explain options outside the treatment room.

Psychological care, workplace safety action and a compensation claim are separate processes. We can provide treatment and relevant clinical information. We cannot determine an employment dispute or guarantee funding.
