Reasons to refer
Professionals may refer for questions involving attention, learning, development, emotional functioning or behaviour, or for therapy and specialized mental health services.
For professionals
Information for professional referrers.
Healthcare, education, workplace, insurance and rehabilitation professionals can refer for assessment, therapy and specialized services.
Assessment referrals
A clear referral question and relevant background help BrainLab determine the appropriate assessment pathway. Assessment findings inform clinical understanding and recommendations; they do not guarantee a diagnosis, accommodation, funding, eligibility or organizational decision.
Therapy and specialized-service referrals
Name the requested service or concern where possible. BrainLab will review the type of care, delivery method and relevant professional role.
Information that may help review
Not every item is required for every referral.
- referral question or reason for contact
- requested service, where known
- relevant age or population information
- location or virtual/in-person needs
- relevant timing considerations
- whether consent is in place where applicable
- whether potentially relevant records exist
Consent, privacy and documents
Appropriate consent is required before third-party communication or release of information. Please do not email sensitive records; BrainLab will provide secure instructions if documents are needed.
What happens after a referral
BrainLab reviews the information provided.
The referral question and available background provide the starting point.
The appropriate service route is identified.
BrainLab considers scope, location, professional role and availability.
The next step is discussed.
A referral starts the review but does not guarantee acceptance.
The arrangement is explained.
Provider, consent, fees and practical expectations are reviewed before care begins.
Reports and coordination
Every psychological assessment includes feedback and a written report. Other services have their own documentation and communication arrangements. Recipients are determined through consent and service arrangements, and recommendations do not bind schools, employers, insurers, funders or other organizations.
