When work stress becomes a WorkCover claim
Not all workplace stress is compensable, but when work is a significant contributing factor to a diagnosable psychological condition — such as an anxiety disorder, adjustment disorder, or major depression — you may have a valid WorkCover claim. Factors that may contribute include unreasonable workloads, management actions, workplace conflict, and exposure to traumatic events.
Confidential, empathetic assessment
Claims Doctor provides a confidential telehealth environment for discussing sensitive psychological symptoms. Dr Laidlaw will conduct a thorough assessment and provide appropriate referrals to psychologists or psychiatrists, as well as documentation for your WorkCover claim.
