Referral Process
A nursing practice that speaks your clinical language
Care N Cure accepts referrals from hospital discharge planners, doctors, GPs and allied-health professionals across Perth, subject to client suitability, consent and service availability.
Medical Notice: We are not an emergency service. For urgent or life-threatening concerns, call 000.
Care N Cure was founded by Jinu, an experienced registered nurse with over a decade of hospital and community nursing experience in Western Australia. We understand what a safe discharge looks like, and we work collaboratively with referring professionals to ensure continuity of care.
Whether you are a hospital discharge coordinator, a GP, an allied health professional, or a family member seeking care, our intake process is straightforward. We document our clinical observations and communicate back to the treating team.
Who can refer?
Hospital Discharge Teams
We accept referrals from hospital discharge planners, social workers, and clinical teams across Perth. With client consent, we review discharge summaries and coordinate in-home nursing assessment plans as patients return home.
GPs & Specialists
Trusted by Perth GPs for post-procedure recovery, wound dressing, medication initiation, and chronic condition monitoring. We report back with clinical notes after every visit.
Family Members
No referral required. If you are a son, daughter, or carer who needs nursing support for a loved one, call or email us directly. We will conduct a free initial assessment and propose a care plan.
Allied Health Professionals
Physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and social workers can refer clients requiring nursing oversight alongside their existing allied health care. We integrate into your team seamlessly.

How quickly will Care N Cure respond to a referral?
We aim to contact the patient or their family within 24 to 48 hours of receiving a referral. For urgent post-discharge situations, please call us directly on 1300 919 663.
What information do you need to process a referral?
We need the patient's name, contact number, suburb, reason for referral, and any relevant clinical information (diagnosis, medications, wound type, etc.). A discharge summary or GP letter is helpful but not required to initiate contact.
Can families self-refer without a GP?
Yes. Families can contact us directly — no GP referral is required for private nursing services. We conduct our own initial nursing assessment and communicate back to the treating team as appropriate.
Do you accept NDIS, DVA, and Home Care Package referrals?
Yes. We accept referrals for private-pay clients, NDIS participants, DVA recipients, and clients with active Home Care Packages (HCP Levels 1–4). Please indicate the funding type in your referral so we can prepare the relevant paperwork.
