Joining Billabong starts with a simple referral
Membership at Billabong Clubhouse is voluntary, and getting started is straightforward. You can refer yourself, or someone else can refer you - a GP, a community health worker, a family member, or anyone who thinks Billabong might help.
Who can Refer
Adults living with a mental health challenge, referring themselves
Family members, carers or friends, on someone else's behalf
GPs, community health workers, NGO caseworkers and hospital discharge staff
How it Works
Complete our referral form - online is quickest, or download the PDF version if you'd prefer pen and paper.
Our Mental Health Support team reviews the referral and reaches out to arrange an intake conversation.
We'll talk through what Billabong offers and what recovery could look like, at a pace that suits you.
From there, membership is entirely up to you - how many days a week you come in, and what programs you take part in.
*Referrals are usually followed up within 5 business days.
What We Ask For
The referral form asks for some personal and health information, so we can make sure the right support is in place from the start. We handle everything in line with our Privacy Policy, and only the people who need to see it do.
Ready to Refer?
The easiest way to refer someone is to fill in the form below.
If you’d rather use pen and paper, you can download the referral form and email it to us at support@billabongclubhouse.org.au, and we’ll get back to you to confirm it’s arrived.
If you have questions first, get in touch. We’re always happy to talk it through.
Come and See it for Yourself
The best way to understand Billabong is to organise a visit. Get in touch with our team and we can organise a tour and answer any other questions you have.
