Make a Referral

You already know the family. We can open the door.

We work alongside the professionals already supporting Australian families, so care continues before, during and after a first-ever getaway.

Referral form

Start with the essentials.

Referrals are treated confidentially. The Foundation will come back to you to complete the details.

Eligibility

Three things make a family eligible.

A referral is a professional judgement. You already know the family, their circumstances and what time away together could mean for them.

No previous holiday

The family has never been on a holiday together, not even a weekend away.

A child in the family

The family includes a child or children under the age of eighteen.

A story to share

The family is prepared to tell their story so we can share with others.

Referrers work in schools, hospitals, childcare, family services, community organisations and not-for-profit organisations.

Families cannot apply for their own getaway.

It begins because someone already beside them choses to open the door.

What happens next

Three steps, and the Foundation carries the rest.

You send the referral

Share the family’s circumstances and your professional context using the form above.

We talk it through

The Foundation contacts you to confirm details, answer questions and check the fit.

The family is invited

Planning begins around what the family needs, and the getaway is offered to them.

Every Australian getaway is fully funded, including accommodation, travel, food and family experiences. A referral costs the family nothing.
