NDIS Referral Form for Support Coordinators and Referral Partners

Use this form to refer an NDIS participant to Meyer Institute for psychology therapy, psychological assessment, functional capacity assessment, psychosocial disability evidence, NDIS application evidence, plan review reporting or support evidence.

FAQ

Can support coordinators refer participants?

Yes. Support coordinators, specialist support coordinators, psychosocial recovery coaches, plan managers, GPs, allied health providers, schools, families and representatives can submit referrals where they have appropriate consent or authority.

What services can be requested?

Referrals can be made for NDIS psychology therapy, functional capacity assessment, psychosocial functional capacity assessment, NDIS application or access evidence, plan review reporting, IQ/cognitive assessment, adaptive functioning assessment, ADHD assessment, autism-related assessment or a suitability call.

Should I upload the NDIS plan?

Yes, if available and consent has been provided. The NDIS plan helps Meyer Institute understand goals, funding category, plan dates, plan management type and whether the requested service appears consistent with the participant’s plan.

Do you accept plan-managed and self-managed participants?

Meyer Institute can consider self-managed and plan-managed NDIS enquiries. If a participant is NDIA-managed, please include this in the form so the team can confirm whether a suitable service pathway is available.

Can Meyer Institute provide reports for NDIS applications or plan reviews?

Meyer Institute can provide psychological assessment and reporting where clinically appropriate and within scope. Reports may help explain functional impact, support needs and recommendations, but NDIS access, funding and plan decisions are made by the NDIA and relevant plan arrangements.

Can urgent or complex referrals be submitted?

Complex referrals can be submitted, but this form is not for emergencies or crisis support. Include relevant risk, safeguarding, behaviour support, legal or consent issues so the referral can be reviewed appropriately.
