Specialist Referrals

Allied Health and Specialist Services

When specialist support is needed, we connect participants with qualified providers and coordinate communication across teams.

These services are accessed through Support Coordination. Safe Hands does not employ allied health professionals directly. As your Support Coordinator, we find the right specialist, arrange and manage referrals, and ensure each provider works toward your NDIS goals - funded from your Support Coordination budget.
