-

Before you refer
Please have the following information where available:
-
the client’s consent/authority and safe-contact instructions
-
whether the matter is FAS, existing VOCAT or uncertain
-
Individual Application Number or VOCAT reference

Do not attach sensitive records
The first referral form does not accept police statements, court material, identity documents, medical records or detailed offence accounts. If Meyer Institute can review the referral, we will provide a scoped document request and approved secure transfer method.
Referral response
Submitting a referral does not confirm acceptance, availability, funding or a report due date. The practice will review clinical fit, capacity, authority, scope and payment requirements, then respond using the nominated professional contact details.
FAQs
Can I refer before FAS approval?
Yes, for a preliminary fit or information enquiry. Funded work begins only after the required approval and payment arrangements are confirmed.
What consent do you need?
Confirm that the client, parent or legal representative authorises you to share the information and ask Meyer Institute to make contact or liaise. The practice will complete its own consent process if the referral proceeds.
Can I email records after submitting?
Please wait for a scoped request and secure transfer instructions. Do not send sensitive attachments to a general mailbox.
Can you accept an urgent report?
A due date is not accepted until a clinician reviews scope, capacity, records, assessment requirements and written fee approval.
Will Meyer provide an outcome opinion in advance?
No. Any clinical or report conclusion must remain the psychologist’s independent professional opinion.
