Referring someone to AmpAus
Anger Management Programs Australia (AmpAus) welcomes enquiries from solicitors, other professionals and partners researching support. You can check the format and documentation before a participant decides to book.
Information for solicitors and professional referrers
The Anger Management Program consists of five individual phone or video appointments of 40 minutes. It addresses warning signs, responsibility, safe and assertive communication, and practical responses. Relevant workbooks support reflection and practice between sessions. Two optional, pre-booked 10-minute check-ins are included, subject to availability.
Before referring, explain any specific program requirement and the deadline. The participant’s name, preferred contact details and permission to contact them are also needed. Send only information relevant to arranging the enquiry; discuss how sensitive documents should be provided with the office.
Information for partners and family members
You can ask about the program before discussing it with the person you hope will participate. The work depends on their engagement. Booking or completing a program does not itself establish that behaviour has changed or require you to resume contact.

The program is for adults aged 18 and over. Many enquiries follow a solicitor’s recommendation; others come from people who want to make changes themselves or after concerns raised by a partner. Adults of any gender are welcome. The work is tailored to your circumstances and depends on your willingness to reflect and practise.
Lead Practitioner background
Melinda Bailey, our Lead Practitioner and program creator, is a Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner (FDRP), accredited by the Australian Government Attorney-General’s Department. Her background includes corrective services, relationship counselling and family dispute resolution. Your practitioner connects the program material with your circumstances and workbook responses. Read more about Melinda and AmpAus.
AmpAus also engages additional practitioners as required. You will know who your practitioner will be before booking.
Consent and information sharing
A referral does not provide automatic access to private session information. Discuss the participant’s consent and any request for documentation with AmpAus. The participant can request their Letter and discuss how it will be shared.
Attendance email and optional Letter
A basic attendance acknowledgement is included and emailed by our administration team. A personalised, signed Letter of Completion is a separate optional document. It can document attendance, topics covered, the focus of the work, supported observations about expressed willingness to change, engagement, self-learning and between-session activities, use of check-in calls, and any referrals made. Any client admissions included in the Letter are discussed and approved with the client.
We explain what can be documented before you begin. Participation does not require an admission or declaration of guilt. The Letter describes supported observations and relevant client-reported information; it is not a character reference, assessment of future safety or guarantee of a legal outcome.
