Online referral form

Send us your patient online.

Only what we need for triage — please leave out sensitive identifying details that aren't. Once we've confirmed acceptance, we'll ask for the full clinical summary through secure means.

Referring clinician

The patient’s details

We deliberately do not collect patient information through this form. A web form is not a secure channel for health information, and this one is processed by an overseas provider. Tell us how to reach you and we will send you a secure referral link, so the patient’s details go straight into our clinical system instead.

Prefer not to wait? Call (03) 5593 2934, or use the signed one-page PDF template below and send it by secure email. If your patient needs urgent help, call 000, or Lifeline on 13 11 14.

PDF referral template

Or use a downloadable PDF.

If your practice prefers secure email, there's a single-page PDF template — fill it in, sign it, and send it to drash@vitalforce.net.au.

Request referral template (PDF)

We send the latest version directly, so it's always current. The online form above works just as well — no PDF needed.

What happens next

From referral to first appointment.

  1. Within 1 business day

    Referral acknowledgement

    You receive a written acknowledgement that we've received the referral, and an indication of whether we're accepting (we may decline if the patient is outside scope or our caseload is full — we'll suggest alternatives).

  2. Within 48 hours

    Patient contact

    Reception contacts your patient to schedule an initial consultation, send the intake form, and explain what to expect.

  3. After first appointment

    Clinical correspondence

    With the patient's written consent, we send you a clinical summary after the initial assessment — qEEG findings (if completed), the proposed plan, and any flags worth knowing about.

  4. Throughout care

    Ongoing coordination

    We continue to share clinical correspondence at structured intervals (typically post-reassessment) and welcome direct phone contact for clinical discussion.

For urgent or crisis-level presentations, please don't refer in via this form. Direct urgent mental-health presentations to your local Crisis Assessment and Treatment Team, or call 000 for immediate emergency response. Our work is non-urgent, scheduled care delivered alongside primary medical and psychological services.

The same methodology, every tier

Examination, not assumption.

14 brain networks. Quantitative measurement at the start, the middle, and the end. Co-care with your GP and psychologist — we work alongside, not instead of.

Step 1

Examine

19-channel quantitative EEG, processed against age-matched norms via NeuroGuide. swLORETA source localisation maps activity to specific networks.

Step 2

Intervene

swLORETA-guided neurofeedback paired with HRV biofeedback at resonant frequency. Network-targeted protocols, not one-size-fits-all.

Step 3

Re-measure

qEEG comparison at mid-cycle and end of programme. If the data isn’t moving in the expected direction, we change the plan — not the calendar.

One methodology across every tier — from the free Snapshot through to the in-clinic 12-week programme.

Four tiers of care

Start anywhere. Step up when you’re ready.

Every tier uses the same methodology — examination first, then targeted intervention. Choose the depth that fits your concern, your timeline, and your budget.

Two ways to begin

Your brain... Your choice.

Examination, not assumption.

Take the free Brain Health Snapshot to orient yourself, or book a consultation with Dr Ash Connell. Both are easy to step away from, and either way you’ll leave with a clearer picture of what’s actually going on.

Or call (03) 5593 2934 — reception will take a few details and call you back within one business day.
