How psychology is funded through CTP
Psychological treatment is funded when it is reasonable and necessary for an injury caused by the accident, and your insurer approves the treatment plan.
A GP referral is often the practical starting point, because it documents the link between the accident and how you have been feeling.
For an accepted claim, the CTP insurer usually pays the treating psychologist directly, rather than you paying up front.
