A straightforward EAP for your organisation
Supporting your employees shouldn’t mean adding another complicated system for your business to manage.
Vision Counselling provides EAP counselling for Perth and WA organisations with a simple model: no setup fees, no annual administration fees, and you only pay for EAP appointments.
You choose the number of sessions your organisation will fund and who is eligible to access them. We take care of the counselling, appointment administration and invoicing.
No setup fees
There is no fee simply to establish your organisation with Vision.
No annual administration fees
You’re not paying an ongoing fee just to have EAP support available.
Pay only for EAP appointments
Your organisation is invoiced for EAP appointments, with no ongoing fee simply to keep the service available.
You choose the support you provide
Decide how many counselling sessions you’ll fund and who is eligible to access them.
Need EAP counselling for an employee now?
Sometimes an organisation starts looking for an EAP provider because an employee is already struggling.
They may be overwhelmed, experiencing anxiety or stress, grieving, dealing with relationship or family difficulties, struggling at work or simply finding it difficult to cope.
Even if you don’t already have an EAP arrangement with Vision, you can contact us now.
If your employee needs support now, we’ll help you put a straightforward arrangement in place and connect them with counselling as quickly as possible.
Flexible appointment options
Appointments are available across our Perth counselling locations and by telehealth.
After-hours and weekend options are also available, helping employees access counselling around work and other commitments.
Want EAP support in place before it’s needed?
You don’t have to wait until an employee is struggling to put support in place.
Establishing an EAP gives your employees somewhere professional and confidential to turn if they need help in the future — and gives managers somewhere appropriate to direct an employee when a difficult situation arises.
Because Vision doesn’t charge setup or annual administration fees, having an EAP arrangement in place doesn’t mean paying for counselling your employees may never use.
When support is needed, the pathway is already there.
How Vision’s EAP works
Set up your organisation
We’ll establish a straightforward EAP arrangement with your organisation.
You decide how many sessions you’ll fund, who is eligible to use the service and how employees can access it.
Employees access counselling
Depending on the arrangement you choose, employees can contact Vision directly or your organisation can refer someone for counselling.
Our team helps arrange an appropriate appointment and employees attend in person or by telehealth.
We invoice your organisation
Vision invoices your organisation for counselling that has been used. Employees don’t pay for sessions covered by their EAP allowance.
If further sessions may be helpful, we can request approval from your nominated representative. Your organisation remains in control of whether additional EAP sessions are funded.
Supporting your employees can support your workplace too
Personal difficulties don’t always stay outside the workplace.
When an employee is struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties or other challenges, it can affect their concentration, attendance and ability to manage their usual work.
Providing access to professional counselling gives employees somewhere confidential to seek support and work through what’s happening — while giving managers an appropriate avenue for support rather than leaving them to manage personal or mental health difficulties themselves.
Sometimes support is needed during a difficult period. Sometimes having it available early can help an employee address what’s happening before things become harder to manage.
What can employees talk about in EAP counselling?
EAP isn’t limited to problems that originate at work. Employees can seek counselling for difficulties affecting their wellbeing.
Depending on the arrangement your organisation chooses, EAP may also include relationship counselling or counselling for eligible family members.
Confidential counselling your employees can trust
For employees to use an EAP, they need to feel confident that counselling is genuinely private.
Personal information shared during counselling with Vision remains confidential. As with other counselling services, there are limited exceptions relating to legal requirements and serious safety concerns, or where the employee has provided appropriate consent for information to be shared.
The limits of confidentiality are explained to employees as part of the counselling process.
Your organisation funds the service, but that does not mean an employer is given access to what an employee discusses with their therapist.

EAP Perth FAQs
How much does Vision’s EAP cost?
Vision doesn’t charge a setup fee or annual administration fee. Your organisation pays for EAP appointments rather than an ongoing administration or membership fee.
EAP session fees are provided to employers when they enquire about establishing an arrangement with Vision.
How many EAP sessions can an employee have?
Your organisation decides how many counselling sessions it will fund for eligible employees.
If a therapist believes further sessions may be helpful after an employee has used their allowance, Vision can contact your nominated representative to request approval. The decision to fund additional sessions remains with your organisation.
Is EAP counselling confidential?
Yes. What an employee discusses with their therapist is confidential, subject to the usual legal and safety limits that apply to counselling.
Information is not provided to an employer simply because the employer is paying for the service.
Can employees contact Vision themselves?
Yes. Your organisation can choose an arrangement that allows employees to contact Vision directly. Employers can also choose to make referrals themselves, or allow both options.
Can employees attend after hours or on weekends?
Vision offers appointments outside standard business hours, including after-hours and weekend options. Availability varies by therapist and location.
Telehealth appointments are also available for employees who prefer to attend remotely.
