The referral should contain the following information:

• WHY – reason for referral, presenting conditions, past medical history
• WHAT - need for intervention
• HOW TO BE FUNDED – Self-funded, Medicare, NDIS, or other funding source.
Parents or individuals are able to ring (08) 8346 4580 or contact by email to make a new referral for service.
Please bring copies of past assessments and reports to this first appointment.
Medicare Plans (Enhanced Care Plans; Mental Health Care Plans; Children with Disability Plans) require a referral from a Medical Practitioner PRIOR to the first appointment.
How long does it take to get allocated a therapist?
- This depends, as we are community-based - Each therapist often will drive out to a school, home, community centre or kindergarten to see a client.
- As such, timetabling can be challenging.
- We will do our best to get a service to you as quickly as practicable, but the wait time can vary.
- Please feel free to call up our friendly admin team and check your allocation.
