What Is an Employee Assistance Program?
An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a confidential, employer-funded workplace benefit that provides employees with access to professional psychological and counselling services. EAPs help employees manage personal and work-related challenges that may affect their mental health, wellbeing, and job performance.
EAP services are typically provided at no cost to the employee. The employer funds a set number of sessions per employee per year as part of their organisational wellbeing commitment. Employees access the service confidentially, and no identifying information is shared with the employer without the employee's explicit consent.
At Therapy Near Me, our EAP psychology services include individual counselling, group therapy, crisis intervention, and workplace mental health education, delivered by qualified psychologists and counsellors across Australia.
Available: In-person: Selected locations, subject to practitioner availability.
At-home: Selected service areas for eligible NDIS participants.
Telehealth: Australia-wide.
Format: In-person, video, or phone appointments
Funding: EAP services are typically funded by the employer as a staff benefit. Individual employees access sessions at no cost to them under an EAP agreement.
Suitable for: Employees, managers, and their immediate family members (subject to EAP agreement). Suitable for personal and work-related concerns.
Not suitable for: Psychiatric emergencies or immediate safety concerns. If an employee is in immediate danger, contact 000. For 24/7 crisis support, refer to Lifeline on 13 11 14.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Employee Assistance Program (EAP)?
How confidential are EAP services?
Confidentiality is central to our EAP services. Sessions are not recorded without the employee’s explicit consent, and information about participation or session content is not shared with the employer without the employee’s consent. We may provide de-identified, high-level data to employers for programme evaluation purposes. There are limited legal and ethical exceptions to confidentiality, such as serious risk of harm, which your psychologist will explain at the start of your engagement.
