Primary Psychological Program
Who’s it for?
Anyone who has suffered a Psychological injury at work or in a motor vehicle accident. Recovery from a Psychological injury is complex – we’ve developed an evidence-based, early identification and intervention program aimed at screening, assessment, treating and supporting claimants through the recovery process.
In 2022, there was an increasing trend in both the frequency and length of workers' compensation claims related to psychological injuries. These types of injuries present a unique challenge to healthcare professionals and employers, as they often involve longer and more complex recovery periods compared to physical injuries.
A further complication is a co-morbidity between poor mental health and people who have suffered physical injuries. The data consistently shows that individuals with psychological injury claims tend to be absent for longer periods of time before returning to work, underscoring the need for targeted, practical approaches to support their recovery journey.
Addressing this trend, Navigator Group has developed a focused program that emphasises early identification and intervention, aiming to streamline the recovery process for psychological injury claims. Integrating evidence-based methods and providing comprehensive support, we strive to accelerate recovery and facilitate a smoother return to work, addressing the critical challenges of these increasingly prevalent psychological injuries.

Understanding psychological injuries involves recognising their distinct nature and impact on employees compared to physical injuries. These injuries, often invisible, can arise from workplace stress, traumatic events, or accidents. They encompass a range of conditions, including anxiety, depression, and PTSD, profoundly affecting an individual's mental state and daily functioning.
Unlike physical injuries, psychological harm can be less apparent, making diagnosis and treatment more challenging. This complexity requires a nuanced approach to treatment that addresses not just the symptoms but the underlying causes and individual experiences associated with these injuries.
Psychological injuries necessitate a compassionate approach that goes beyond traditional medical treatments. Recognising their impact on an employee’s overall well-being, effective care must be holistic, considering the emotional, cognitive, and social aspects of the employee's life. This comprehensive view is crucial for fostering a truly healing environment.

Early identification and intervention in cases of psychological injury are essential for effective recovery. Identifying these issues promptly can prevent the escalation of symptoms and the development of more severe mental health conditions. Early intervention leads to more successful treatment outcomes, shorter recovery times, and a faster return to work, reducing the overall impact on the employee's life and work. This proactive approach is key in managing the complexities of psychological injuries, ensuring that workers receive the right support and treatment as early as possible.
