Make a referral, start the conversation

A referral is usually the first step towards talking about support with Zoe Care Support Services. Whether you’re referring yourself, someone you support, or a participant you work with professionally, we review every referral individually and get back to you to talk through what’s next.

Who Can Make a Referral?

Referrals come from all sorts of people, and that’s fine. Participants can refer themselves. So can family members, carers, support coordinators, allied health professionals, and other people involved in someone’s day-to-day support. In some cases referrals come through a hospital or health service too.

 

Whoever it comes from, every referral gets looked at individually  there’s no single “right” way to make one.

Participants Themselves

You can refer yourself directly, any time.

Family Members

On behalf of someone they support at home.

Carers

People involved in someone's day-to-day support.

Support Coordinators

Professionals managing a participant's NDIS plan.

Allied Health Professionals

Referring a participant they work with clinically.

Hospitals & Health Services

In some cases, referrals come through directly.

Before You Submit a Referral

It helps to have a few things on hand:

Participant's details
Name and basic background.
Current support needs
A bit about what's needed and why.
Existing NDIS plan
If there is one — useful, not essential.
Contact information
A preferred way for us to get in touch.

That’s useful too, along with a preferred way for us to get in touch.

 

That said, don’t hold off if you don’t have everything. Partial information is genuinely fine  we can work out the rest together once we’re talking.
