Service Referral Form

Use this form to refer someone to Mossman Support Services — whether you are a health professional, support coordinator, community worker, or referring yourself or a family member.

Who can make a referral

Referrals are welcome from everyone

You do not need to be a professional to refer someone to our services. We welcome referrals from workers, carers, family members and from people referring themselves.

Self-Referrers & Family

You don't need a referral from a doctor or professional to access most of our services. If you or someone you care about needs support, you can refer directly.

  • Individuals seeking lifestyle or disability support
  • Parents or carers of children and young people
  • Family members seeking support for a loved one
  • Older people looking for social connection or activities
  • Anyone experiencing hardship or crisis
  • Carers seeking support for themselves
The referral process

What happens after you submit

We aim to make the referral process as straightforward as possible — for the person referring and for the person being referred.

Submit the form

Complete the referral form below with as much detail as you can. All fields marked with an asterisk are required.

We review your referral

Our team reviews every referral within 2 business days and matches it to the most appropriate staff member or program.

We make contact

A team member reaches out to the person being referred (or their carer/guardian) to introduce our services and discuss next steps.

Support begins

We work together to create an individualised plan that meets the person's goals, needs and preferences at their own pace.
