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.
On the Central Coast, telehealth is common, so distance from a clinic need not decide who you can see.
How psychology is funded through CTP
For the first 52 weeks after a motor accident, treatment and care benefits are generally available regardless of who was at fault.
Whether a particular psychologist takes CTP clients is decided practice by practice, which is why it is worth confirming before you book.
A GP referral is often the practical starting point, because it documents the link between the accident and how you have been feeling.
Before you enquire, it can help to read The Motor Accident Injuries scheme, explained.
