Health at work programs and support

Mental health support

If workplace stress is making you feel anxious or depressed, it’s important to seek help early, so you can access appropriate treatment. CBHS Better Living programs may be able to help, with home visits from registered mental health nurses and support for medication regimes. Read more about our dedicated mental health Better Living programs.

Back pain

You can get help for back pain from a physiotherapist, exercise physiologist, occupational therapist, osteopath or chiropractor and claim for appointments under your CBHS Extras or packaged cover. Acupuncture may offer some pain relief and is also claimable under Extras. You’ll need to see your GP in the first instance for a referral. Check your policy for details or view CBHS packaged or Extras cover.

Fit for work

Our wellbeing and fitness programs can help you stay healthy and well. They include quit smoking, weight management, stress management and gym memberships or personal training programs. Read more about living healthier.
