NSW Workers Compensation Counselling (SIRA Approved)
If you are navigating a workplace injury or psychological stress related to your job, accessing the right support can make a meaningful difference in your recovery.
At Awake Counselling, we provide NSW workers compensation counselling through secure telehealth, supporting individuals across NSW with professional and compassionate care.
As a SIRA-approved Allied Health Practitioner, you may be eligible for funded sessions as part of your recovery plan. You can also explore our broader approach to care on the About page or learn more about available support areas on our Support With page.

- Psychological injury following a workplace incident
