Supporting resilient workplaces and making mental health a priority
Access Psych has extensive experience in the provision of tailored and supportive Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) to businesses across Australia.
What is EAP?
EAP is a confidential and solution-focused counselling service, designed to support employees experiencing mental health issues of any kind – whether these are personal, family and/or work-related issues.
It is a brief and practical intervention delivered by our mental health clinicians to develop strategies to approach current and future mental health concerns.
Why offer an EAP to your employees?
- An EAP can form part of your risk mitigation framework and assist compliance to the SafeWork NSW Code of Practice for Managing psychosocial hazards at work
- The counselling is short-term, informal, friendly and focused on employee’s specific needs
- The employee can select the delivery method that best suits them: either via the phone or telehealth, or face-to-face at Access Psych clinics located across NSW
- All information is treated with the utmost privacy and confidentiality
- Access Psych is able to offer national 24/7 call triaging
What happens if the employee needs more support?
In some cases, the specialty or the duration of counselling that is required may be outside the scope of EAP services. In this case, Access Psych may facilitate a referral via the employee’s General Practitioner for counselling under Medicare’s Better Access to Mental Health Care program.
Tailoring EAP to your organisation
Access Psych recognises that every workplace and worker is different, so we tailor the EAP package to suit the organisation. This can include an initial screen of the individual and allocation to the most appropriate clinician near you based on the service delivery needs. It will also include the number of sessions available to each employee, and potentially their family members.
In addition to the EAP service, Access Psych offers a suite of corporate health packages designed to improve employee’s health and wellbeing, while reducing absenteeism and the risk of illness.
