One referral. A clear path to the right support
Refer yourself, a family member, participant or client for allied health support through the NDIS, Support at Home, Medicare, private and other eligible pathways.
- ✓Multiple allied health disciplines
- ✓Home, community and telehealth options
- ✓Clear funding and service-pathway checks
- ✓Support for individuals and professional referrers
You do not need every clinical detail before you begin
Tell us who needs support, what they want help with, their postcode and how the service may be funded. Bloom can check the relevant discipline, setting and current availability.
Funding approval and clinician availability are confirmed separately. A referral does not guarantee acceptance or funding.
Start directly or refer with the person’s authority
The right information and consent help the referral team respond efficiently while respecting privacy and choice.

Coordinators and care partners
Include the requested discipline, goals, location, funding pathway and preferred contact arrangements.
Professional referrers
GPs, clinicians, schools, hospitals, insurers and legal teams can provide relevant instructions and records with consent.
Funding and referral requirements differ

Answers before you submit
If you are unsure which discipline or pathway applies, select “Unsure” and describe the goal briefly.
Can I refer myself to Bloom Healthcare?
Yes. Some funding pathways may still require a referral, approval or supporting documents before services begin.
What information should I include?
Start with contact details, authority, postcode, requested outcome, service and funding pathway. Bloom can explain what additional documents are necessary.
Can I refer for more than one discipline?
Yes. Availability, clinical fit and funding are assessed for each discipline rather than assumed from one referral.
Does submitting a referral guarantee an appointment?
No. Bloom must confirm clinical suitability, coverage, availability, funding and the agreed arrangement.
Can Bloom accept emergency referrals?
Bloom is not an emergency service. Call 000 if there is immediate danger. Tell the team about time-sensitive circumstances so urgency can be considered.
How quickly will Bloom contact me?
Bloom’s current public referral information states contact within 24 hours. This design expresses that as an aim of one business day during opening hours, subject to demand.
