Income Protection (IP) Psychological Assessments
Early independent psychological assessments can confirm a psychological injury, it’s level of severity, and it’s causes. Objective testing is administered to confirm clinical interview feedback, obtain information not disclosed during the interview, and to also determine if there is exaggeration of symptoms present.
General cognitive impairment testing can also be administered if there are relative concerns, and a referral organised for neuropsychological testing, if significant results obtained.
Reports are tailored to address the insurer’s specific concerns, which are discussed with the referrer prior to the assessment. Post-assessment phone calls are also made to the referrer to provide post-assessment feedback. Reports also include recommendations to aid in the management of the claim, with the aim of a timely return to work and shorter claim periods.
Psychological Functionality Assessments

Fitness for Duty assessments identify if psychological issues are affecting an employee’s ability to perform their work in an efficient and safe manner. Recommendations are made in relation to rehabilitation requirements and how to best achieve a successful graduated return to work (GRTW). A GRTW program can be provided with the report, as well as recommendations for successfully managing identified barriers.
In addition to the Fitness for Duty Assessment, Rehabilitation Case Management through Willmore Graham’s Rehabilitation Consultancy services, can be provided to facilitate, oversee and manage the worker’s treating service providers and GRTW program (if/when deemed fit for a RTW). This ongoing support shortens the claim period by identifying and addressing RTW barriers, early. |
