Psychological IMEs and Rehabilitation Assessments

Work-related mental health conditions are becoming more common, overtaking traditional physical injuries like musculoskeletal conditions.
Stress-related workers’ compensation claims have doubled in recent years, costing over $10 billion each year.

We provide expert psychological assessments for mental injuries and illness in Victoria, and across Australia.

Independent Medical Examinations (IMEs): We conduct thorough and impartial evaluations of employees who have experienced psychological injury or illness, whether from work or personal factors. We provide formal diagnosis, symptom measurement, treatment review, and recommendations for fitness for duty, return to work, and workplace accommodations. In Victoria, we have clinical psychologists approved by Worksafe for IMEs related to Workcover.

Fitness for Duty Assessments: We assess the current mental and emotional state of employees who may be at risk of impaired performance, safety, or wellbeing. We identify the factors affecting their psychological fitness and provide practical guidance on how to address them.

Vocational Rehabilitation Assessments: We help employees who have suffered psychological injury or disability to regain their work capacity and quality of life. We assess their vocational interests, skills, abilities, and barriers, and provide tailored advice on suitable career options, retraining, and support services.

Our team of experienced clinical psychologists use evidence-based methods and tools to provide reliable and valid assessments that meet the highest professional and ethical standards. We work with employers, insurance agents, lawyers, and health professionals to deliver timely and comprehensive reports that facilitate informed decision-making and positive outcomes for all parties.
