HOW TO REFER:  The Referral Process
 
REFERRAL FEES

Edmund Rice Camps for Kids WA is a registered charity, relying heavily on community support and donations. While the children pay a nominal fee for the camps, the volunteers are also asked for a donation to defray costs, ERCKWA relies on various fundraising efforts and donations in order to provide its services. Running quiz nights, film nights and raffles are examples of our fundraising activities.

As you would appreciate there is a lot of time and effort put into these camps and also into managing each referral. This new process and cost reflects the time spent by ERCKWA in placing children on camps.

We ask that each agency pays $120 per child that they refer to Edmund Rice Camps for Kids WA. Please read the following information on the referral process.

Referral/Recommendation Process:

1)  Referrals can be made to Edmund Rice Camps for Kids WA at any time between:
1st August - 1st December and 1st February - 1st June.  Recommendation forms can be found on the ERCKWA website or can be emailed, faxed or posted out to agencies on request.

2) Referral agencies would be asked to pay $120 per child they refer to ERCKWA (a cheque or Customer Purchase Order) must be sent with the recommendation forms.

3) This referral and payment will place the child onto the ERCKWA participant database.
 
4) The child’s family and or the referral agent will then be sent a welcome to ERCKWA letter and parents/caregiver information booklet.

5) From this time on, the child’s family will be sent camp selection forms for any of the upcoming camps/activities. (Please note: children will not be invited to ‘other’ ERCKWA activities until they have first attended a camp).

6) The participants family would then either post back this form or call to be involved in a particular camp and they would then be sent medical forms and camp acceptance letters before the actual camp.

It is hoped that this new system will be a much easier and efficient way of processing and handling referrals, for the referral agent and Edmund Rice Camps for Kids WA.

If you have any further questions regarding the Referral process please contact the Kellie Carnaby at the ERCKWA office.
