Referral questions

Can I refer myself?

Yes. Choose quick referral, or call us. You don't need a support coordinator to get started.

Do I need an NDIS plan first?

No. If you're waiting on a plan, not yet on the NDIS, or looking at aged care (Home Care Package), refer anyway and we'll talk through options.

Does the participant need to agree?

Yes. The participant, or their nominee or guardian, should know about the referral and agree to us contacting them.

How soon can support start?

It depends on the support needed and worker matching. We'll give you a realistic start date on the first call.

How is my information kept private?

Referral details are only used to arrange support and are handled under our Privacy Policy. We never share them without consent.

It takes about a minute to get started. We'll guide you through the rest.
