Refersomeonetosupportthatactuallyfitstheirlife.

We work alongside Support Coordinators, Plan Managers, allied health professionals, hospitals, families and the people they support — across Sydney. Participant choice stays central, from the first conversation onward.

Support Coordinator

Keep the participant's goals, preferences and existing supports at the centre of the referral. We're glad to work alongside the coordination that's already in place — this isn't a handoff away from you.

Share what you can, and we'll confirm fit against current capacity before anything is promised.

— What to expect

Whatyoucanexpectfromus.

01

Clear communication

We'll tell you plainly what we can offer, and just as plainly when something isn't the right fit.

02

Participant choice first

The person being referred stays in control of the decision. A referral opens a conversation — it doesn't commit anyone to anything.

03

Honest capacity conversations

If we can't take on a referral straight away, we'll say so, rather than going quiet.

04

Respectful collaboration

We work alongside the coordinators, allied health professionals and family already involved — not around them.

05

One team, not a handoff

Once support begins, the same team stays involved. A referral doesn't disappear into a queue somewhere else.

— After you refer

Whathappensafteryourefer.

  1. 01

    Referral arrives

    It lands with a real person, not a queue.

  2. 02

    We understand the request

    We read what's been shared and note anything we should ask about.

  3. 03

    We confirm fit

    We check the request against current capacity, honestly — including when the answer is not yet.

  4. 04

    We connect

    We reach out to the participant, family member or nominee to talk it through directly.

  5. 05

    We agree on next steps

    Together, we confirm what support looks like and talk through availability.

  6. 06

    Support begins

    The team who will actually deliver support is who you meet — no further handoff.

Consent & information

Youonlyneedtosharewhat'sappropriateandauthorised.

Consent matters. Only information you’re authorised to share should be included in a referral, and the participant stays involved in the decisions made about their own support.

Information shared with us is handled in line with our Privacy Policy — worth a read if you’d like the detail. This page isn’t legal advice, just a plain explanation of the idea.

  • The best contact details for following up
  • Their suburb or general location
  • The support being requested
