Refer to a person.
Backed by a team.
Request a psychologist you know, or ask our intake team to help identify a suitable option. Start with the person's needs and the purpose of the referral.
Sydney clinic options and NSW telehealth, subject to suitability and funding.
The details you need.
Without the back-and-forth.
GPs & treating teams
Share the clinical concern, relevant history and the client's preferences. Please include consent arrangements for communication.
Insurers & case managers
Include the claim contact and relevant treatment decisions. Specify any report or coordination request separately.
Rehabilitation providers
Clarify the rehabilitation goals, treating-team contacts and barriers affecting everyday function or work.
Solicitors
Distinguish a treatment referral from an independent assessment or legal report. We confirm service scope before accepting the request.
A referral that starts
with the right information.
This checklist tool helps organise your referral. It does not collect client information, submit a referral or upload documents.
Call our team to confirm the current secure document-transfer route. Please do not enter or send health information through a general enquiry.
Keep the purpose clear.
Treatment is distinct from an independent assessment or expert opinion. Let us know what is being requested so that the appropriate practitioner, fee and consent process can be considered.
We discuss what information may be shared with the client and relevant parties. A referral is not blanket consent to release the full clinical record.
Useful information to have ready
- The reason for referral and the clinical question.
- Client consent and relevant contact arrangements.
- Claim number, insurer and funding decisions, where available.
- Preferred practitioner, location, language and access needs.
- Relevant treating-team information and any time-sensitive concerns.
