2What We Need to Assess Your Referral

You do not need everything ready before contacting us. We can begin from a brief summary and request clinical documentation once there is a potential fit.

  • Participant first name and date of birth
  • NDIS number (if applicable — not required to start)
  • A brief description of the participant's support needs and current situation
  • Your name, role, organisation, and contact details
  • Clinical documentation — SACAT orders, discharge summaries, care plans (can follow after initial contact)
For forensic and complex clinical referrals, our intake coordinator will arrange a brief call with our COO and Behaviour Support Practitioner within 48 hours of receiving your referral to discuss clinical feasibility.

3If We Cannot Accept the Referral

We review every referral on clinical merit and available capacity. If we cannot accept a referral at a given time, we will tell you clearly — and where we can, we will suggest an alternative pathway or indicate when we expect capacity to become available.

We do not leave referrers without a response.

Prefer to Talk First?

Many referrers prefer a brief phone conversation before committing to a formal referral — particularly for complex or forensic placements. That is completely fine.

How We Communicate Post-Placement

Referrers tell us that the most common failure point with other providers is communication — or the absence of it. Our post-placement reporting schedule is structured, not reactive.

Structured Reporting to Referrers

Weeks 1–4
Weekly written update — clinical progress, settling-in observations, any care plan adjustments.
Weeks 5–12
Fortnightly update — ongoing progress against goals, behaviour support plan updates, medication reviews completed.
Month 3 Onwards
Monthly written update, invitation to attend Nurse Aid's monthly clinical review meeting.
30-Day Formal Outcome Report
A structured clinical summary of the participant's transition — sent to the referring coordinator, family, and relevant clinical team.

What You Can Expect From Our Team

  • A named intake coordinator who owns your referral from first contact to signed agreement
  • No active referral goes a week without a touchpoint from our team
  • Access to our COO for peer-level clinical conversations on complex placements
  • Formal invitation to attend monthly clinical review meetings for each participant you have referred
  • If a participant requires acute re-admission within 30 days, we conduct a formal clinical review and report findings back to your team
  • Honest communication — if something changes, we tell you before you hear it elsewhere
