Plan Managers

We make plan manager relationships easy — clear invoicing, prompt documentation and proactive communication.

We work collaboratively with coordinators to implement plans effectively and keep you informed at every step.

GPs, OTs, physios, psychologists and other allied health professionals who need trusted community care partners.

The Referral Process

Four simple steps from first contact to support commencing. No unnecessary
paperwork, no delays.
  • 1

    Submit Your Referral

    Call us, send an email, or complete the online referral form. All we need to get started is the participant's name, contact details, NDIS plan number and a brief overview of the support required. No lengthy paperwork upfront.

    24-Hour Response

    A member of our intake team will contact you within 24 business hours to confirm we have capacity and to gather any additional information needed to progress the referral.

  • 3

    Initial Assessment

    We contact the participant and/or their family to arrange an initial needs assessment. This allows us to understand their goals, preferences and the specific supports required — and to match them with the right worker.

  • 4

    Support Commences

    A support plan is agreed, a service agreement is signed, and support begins. We keep you updated throughout — and we're always available if you need to discuss the participant's progress or adjust the plan.

What Happens After Referral?

Once support commences, you’ll receive regular progress updates and we’ll flag any concerns promptly. Incident reports are completed and shared with relevant parties in accordance with NDIS requirements.

Service Agreements

We use clear, plain-language service agreements that comply with NDIS requirements. We can provide a copy of our standard agreement on request prior to referral.

Our Commitment to You

We know that how we treat your referrals reflects on you. We take that responsibility seriously — which is why we commit to fast responses, clear communication and honest feedback if we can’t meet a participant’s needs.

What to Include in Your Referral

To process your referral quickly we’ll need the following information. Don’t worry if you don’t have everything — call us and we’ll work through it together.

Our Commitment to You

Referrer FAQs

Are you a registered NDIS provider?

We are currently completing our registration with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. We can provide an update on our registration status on request. We welcome referrals now and can commence services upon registration confirmation.

What plan management types do you accept?

We accept NDIS agency managed, plan managed, and self-managed participants. Our team is experienced working with all plan management types and can advise on the appropriate invoicing process for each.

How quickly can support commence?

This depends on the urgency of the referral and our current capacity. For urgent referrals, please call us directly and we will do everything we can to prioritise. In most cases, we aim to commence support within 5–10 business days of receiving a completed referral.

Can I refer a participant with complex needs?

Yes. Our leadership team has extensive clinical experience including complex care management. We are well-equipped to support participants with high physical support needs, chronic health conditions and complex behavioural presentations. Contact us to discuss specific requirements.

What happens if a participant's needs change?

We review support plans regularly and will work with you to adjust services as the participant’s needs evolve. You can contact us at any time to discuss changes — we aim to adapt quickly and flexibly.
