What this form is for

If you are, or someone you know is, currently detained under immigration powers and has experienced torture or ill-treatment, or has health problems (including mental health problems) and is not receiving appropriate treatment, Medical Justice may be able to assist by providing medical evidence.
This form allows you to provide the information Medical Justice needs in order to consider a referral.

Who this form is for

Referrals are accepted from people in immigration detention, their legal representatives, family members, befrienders, medical professionals, and organisations supporting detained people.
There is no charge to make a referral to Medical Justice, and we do not use agents or third parties to manage referrals on our behalf.
Please do not submit a referral if you, or the person you are referring, are not currently in immigration detention. Medical Justice is not a legal firm and cannot provide legal advice or legal representation. Please do not complete this form if you are seeking legal advice or representation only.

When can you expect to hear from us

We receive a high volume of referrals and, unfortunately, cannot assist everyone who contacts us. We only accept referrals from people who are in immigration detention and prioritise cases where medical evidence is most likely to have an impact.
Due to high demand, referrals are reviewed within 10 days from the date of submission.
