After a car accident in NSW
For some people the difficulty is a physical injury and the frustration, pain and worry that come with a slow recovery.
Anxiety about driving, broken sleep, flashbacks, low mood or feeling constantly on edge are common in the weeks after a motor vehicle accident.
Parramatta is the main interchange for Greater Western Sydney, which can make a central appointment easier to keep if travel is uncomfortable after a crash.
How psychology is funded through CTP
For an accepted claim, the CTP insurer usually pays the treating psychologist directly, rather than you paying up front.
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.
