REFERRAL DOCUMENTS
REFERRAL INFORMATION
Referrals are open yearly from 1 to 30 September for the following years programs. Unfortunately, we are not able to assist with referrals outside of this time period.
Here’s everything you need to know about referring a child to Thriive WA!
All children at Thriive are referred annually by a referral agent. The referral agent in this case is a third party professional in a position of counseling, psychology or a social worker / case manager; someone who sees the child in a professional capacity only and can confirm that they meet the eligibility criteria for this program (this includes current behavioural information). This person will need to be available for any further questions we may have at the time of referral or to liaise with during the year as required, especially for Safeguarding reporting requirements.
The referral agent must complete the required forms and pay a fee. The referral is eligible to be renewed each year until the child turns 16; with the completion of the required forms and payment. A child can change referral agents from year to year if needed.
Referrals will open 1 September 2025 for children who are born in the years 2010-2018 and close 30 September 2025 for the following year (2026). The eligibility criteria (available via the link at the top of the page) needs to be satisfied in order to refer a child to Thriive WA.
