Does WorkCover cover a Tarago wind-farm or Woodlawn worker seeing a psychologist?

Yes, if the anxiety, stress, or trauma is connected to a workplace incident or ongoing work conditions, WorkCover funding applies. We can talk through your claim details at the first session.

How manageable is the 42-kilometre trip from Tarago for ongoing sessions?

It's about 39 minutes and 42 kilometres via the Goulburn–Tarago Road. Most Tarago clients settle into a fortnightly or monthly rhythm rather than weekly, with telehealth available for the wind-farm and Woodlawn shift weeks in between.

How do I get a Medicare rebate for psychology?

Your GP writes a Mental Health Treatment Plan, which covers up to ten rebated sessions a calendar year. Bring it to your first appointment and we bill Medicare directly where possible. You can also see a psychologist privately without a plan, or through NDIS, WorkCover, CTP, or DVA.

Is what I say confidential?

Yes. There are legal exceptions — risk to life, a court subpoena, and child-safety concerns — and the psychologist talks these through at the first session. Any contact with your GP, the person who referred you, or a family member needs your written consent.

Local care

Psychology for Tarago residents.

South of Goulburn, the Goulburn–Tarago Road runs about 39 minutes and 42 kilometres out to a farming community of roughly 500 people, many connected to wind-farm or Woodlawn work as well as the land. It's a spread-out district, and the isolation that comes with distance — from neighbours, from services, from a regular routine — can build into low mood or anxiety that's harder to name when there's no one nearby to notice it.

Shift work at the wind farm or Woodlawn site brings its own strain: irregular hours, physical demands, and sometimes a workplace incident that leaves more than a physical mark. Our AHPRA-registered psychologists work with stress, trauma, and mental injury using CBT, ACT, EMDR, and schema therapy, and we plan appointments around the distance rather than assuming it away. Medicare, private, WorkCover, and DVA funding all apply here.

What we treat

What Tarago patients see us for.

Psychologists work with the mind — anxiety, low mood, trauma, grief, and the patterns that keep showing up. Ours are AHPRA-registered and trained in proven therapies like CBT, ACT, EMDR, and schema therapy, and they're the right people to talk to before you decide therapy isn't for you.
