OMHS
Occupational Mental Health
A psychology practice for mental health recovery and return to work — recovery-oriented and research-informed.
Welcome to OMHS
OMHS is a psychology practice working in occupational mental health. We work with life insurers and workers compensation schemes and their clients, with employers, and directly with individuals, to support mental health recovery and a sustainable return to work. Our approach is recovery-oriented and research-informed, grounded in our ongoing research through the University of Sydney: we believe recovery is possible — and we measure it.
We support both individuals and organisations in managing mental health and return-to-work.
For individuals, we offer psychological treatment, occupational rehabilitation and business and executive career counselling.
For organisations, we offer the related activities to manage employees with a mental health condition and their return to work. We provide training, mentoring for managers and consulting in occupational mental health.
We employ psychologists and executive career coaches with substantial experience in workplace psychological services, including psychological treatment, vocational recovery programs, occupational rehabilitation and return-to-work coaching.
We are based in the Sydney CBD and travel to all parts of NSW. We also travel interstate if required and use a range of technology that allows us to provide some services remotely.
OMHS PHILOSOPHY
At OMHS, we believe that mental health is a natural part of being human.
We believe
- Anyone, given the right circumstances, can experience a mental health problem — it is part of being human, not a personal failing
- Everyone has the right to seek help without prejudice or discrimination
- Recovery is possible. With the right support, people rebuild health, confidence and a working life
- Recovery looks different for each person, so support must be tailored — with hope, connection and meaning at its centre
- The right work, in the right conditions, is good for mental health — and is often part of recovery itself
