Pathways for injured people, insurers, case managers and health professionals

Referrals

Safe2Go accepts referrals from insurers, case managers, treating practitioners and directly from clients themselves. Choose the pathway that matches your situation — each one explains what we need, what we provide, and how quickly we can start.

What we are

A specialised rehabilitation service

Safe2Go is not a driving school. We are a specialised rehabilitation service.

This distinction matters when you are deciding where to send someone. A driving school teaches a person to operate a vehicle and pass a test. We work with people who already hold a licence, or held one until something happened, and who now face physical, cognitive, psychological or functional barriers to driving safely.

Our team is multidisciplinary by design — a registered psychologist, occupational therapists and rehabilitation driver trainers working from a single plan. That means a referral to Safe2Go does not have to be routed to the right discipline first. We assess, we identify the actual barrier, and we bring in the right people.

We have worked this way for over 15 years, with clients whose driving capacity has been affected by motor vehicle accidents, workplace injury, trauma, anxiety, PTSD, medical conditions and age-related change.

The pathway

How a referral progresses

  1. 1

    Referral received

    Send us the details by phone, email or the enquiry form. We acknowledge every referral and tell you what, if anything, is still needed.

  2. 2

    Intake and triage

    We speak with the client, confirm the claim or funding context, and identify the most appropriate starting point — psychological, occupational therapy, or on-road.

  3. 3

    Assessment

    A formal assessment establishing baseline function and the specific barriers involved. You receive a written report with findings and recommendations.

  4. 4

    Treatment and rehabilitation

    A graded program combining psychological support, exposure therapy and on-road rehabilitation as required, with progress reviewed throughout.

  5. 5

    Reporting and discharge

    Regular progress reporting in the format you need, and a discharge summary documenting functional outcomes achieved.

What we provide

Services available on referral

Psychological support

Assessment and individual therapy for anxiety, trauma, PTSD and post-accident adjustment, in person or by Telehealth.

Exposure therapy

Structured, graded exposure for driving phobia and avoidance, including AI-assisted real-world exposure work.

OT driver assessment

Occupational therapy driver assessment covering physical, cognitive and functional capacity to drive safely.

Graded driver rehabilitation

Progressive on-road rehabilitation paced to the client's presentation and recovery, not to a test date.

FAQs

Commonly Asked Questions

1. Is Safe2Go a driving school?

No. Safe2Go is not a driving school — we are a specialised rehabilitation service. Our team includes a registered psychologist, occupational therapists and rehabilitation driver trainers who work together to help people return to driving after accident, injury, trauma or a medical condition. We do not teach learner drivers to pass a test.

2. What experience do you have?

Safe2Go has over 15 years of experience supporting people living with driving phobia, driving anxiety, PTSD, GAD and adjustment disorder. If we had to summarise our program in one word, it would be freedom.

3. Do you offer psychological services?

Yes. Psychological support is a core part of what we do, and it is available on its own — you do not have to be enrolled in a driving program to see our psychologist. We provide individual therapy for anxiety, trauma, PTSD and post-accident adjustment, available in person, by Telehealth or over Zoom.

4. Do you accept CTP and WorkCover clients?

Yes. We regularly work with:

  • CTP (Compulsory Third Party) insurers and claimants
  • WorkCover and workers compensation matters
  • Case managers and rehabilitation consultants
  • GP, psychologist and allied health referrers
