Before we start​

We value our partnerships with professionals who refer individuals for support with drug and alcohol use. We recognise that many people seeking help may have experienced trauma, and we are committed to ensuring our referral process is respectful, compassionate, and empowering.

Making a Referral

Our online referral process is straightforward and sensitive to the needs of both the referring professional and the individual being referred. To proceed, please:

• Agree for us to process your professional information.

• Ensure the individual has given their permission for us to receive and process their information, and to contact them using the details provided. This is a important part of the engagement process and helps to get us off to a positive start as we engage them.

• Complete a short referral form on their behalf.

The form takes about 5 minutes to complete and helps us understand the individual’s needs, including any factors that may impact their wellbeing or engagement with services.
