Easy Read — Referrals

Referrals

Use this page to refer someone for help. We help with devices, assistive technology, internet and learning.

What is a referral?

A referral is when you tell us someone needs help.

We ask a few questions. We check what help is best. Then we arrange the next step.

Who can refer?

Teachers and school staff
Health and therapy professionals
Family members and carers
Community workers
People can also refer themselves

Types of referral

Common referrals:

Assistive Technology (AT) — trials and matching for AAC, switches, eye-gaze and software.
Device & school tech — loans and classroom kits, school tech checks.
Student referral — school support or specialist help for a learner.
Self-referral — a person can ask for help for themselves or their family.
Other supports — internet help, training, volunteer support.
