MAKING REFERRALS
This page is for people who are thinking about approaching EveryMan for support for themselves or for someone else. You might be a partner or family member, an employer, a counsellor or a GP, or someone working in a community or government agency.
Our referral procedure helps us prioritise based on the person's needs and circumstances and the program's capacity. The following guide will help you work out what you need to do.
Self-referrals
If you want to contact us for yourself, you can call us during office hours Monday to Friday on 026230 6999, or send us a message from our Contact page - click here
Please check any boxes that apply to the type of help you need.
Referring others
Our general webform is suitable for most referrals. However, the Working With the Man program also has one for use by established referral sources. Please check the box for the program (or programs) you want the person to be considered for, e.g. MASS, Counselling etc.
If you're referring to MASS or ISA and the program finds we may be able to support the person or family concerned, we will send you an application form which captures further detail about the person's situation.
If you need help with what to do, call us on 02 6230 6999 during office hours for more information about referrals and services available. Our staff can talk you through the process and make sure you find the assistance you need.
We review referrals every Friday. If your matter is urgent, please send your referral form then call our office.
CONSENT TO EXCHANGE INFORMATION
In most cases, EveryMan will require consent to allow us to exchange information with third parties (family, community or government agency etc) This generally means that we receive a consent form signed by the client first. If we don't have client consent, we don't disclose (except when required to by law).
To download the consent form, click here
Our counselling service is available for men of all ages, and for partners and families who need some help with supporting them. We welcome referrals from you (self-referral) and from the people in your life - your partner or family - and from workplaces and government and community-based agencies (education, health, mental health, legal, drug and alcohol services etc).
