Help intake assess travel and clinical fit together
For a time-sensitive Northside referral, call intake after submitting the clinical summary. Acceptance still requires complete orders, funding, equipment and appropriate workforce capacity.

Prepare the handoverBrisbane Northside service-area FAQs
Which Brisbane Northside suburbs do you cover?
Coverage is assessed by exact location rather than a blanket suburb promise. Referrals near the Moreton Bay and northern Brisbane corridors are prioritised according to clinical fit and available routes.
Can you coordinate with a Brisbane hospital or GP?
Yes, with the person’s consent. The referral should identify the authorised clinicians, reporting expectations and who must be contacted if the person’s condition changes.
Is EmpowerLink’s office on Brisbane Northside?
The staffed office is at Unit 9, 73–75 King Street, Caboolture. Brisbane Northside is a mobile service area, not a separate office location.
Do you provide disability support as well as nursing on Brisbane Northside?
We assess both types of referral. Nursing tasks and disability-support tasks are scoped separately so qualifications, competencies, funding and reporting responsibilities remain clear.
