For professionals
Healthcare access is a shared responsibility.
We partner with healthcare providers, allied health professionals, disability services and community organisations to improve healthcare participation and outcomes for individuals who experience barriers to care. Whether you're looking to refer a client or build your team's capacity, we're here to help.
Refer a client
Many individuals with disability, autism, intellectual disability, anxiety, sensory sensitivities, previous healthcare trauma or behavioural support needs experience significant barriers to healthcare access. You may be supporting someone who:
- › Avoids appointments or procedures
- › Experiences significant distress in healthcare settings
- › Cannot tolerate routine examinations
- › Requires sedation for preventative care
- › Misses appointments due to anxiety or participation challenges
- › Needs additional preparation before treatment can proceed
