Family Navigator
A Family Navigator brings clarity to complex situations by formulating a coordinated plan of care that draws on specialists within Discovery Family Therapy and trusted third-party providers. You stay in control of every decision; your Navigator manages the coordination. In South Perth and online across Australia.
This service suits people who know something needs to change and want an experienced hand to prioritise, coordinate and keep a plan moving.
Family Navigator works with individuals, couples, parents and families. A child does not need to be involved. If you are unsure whether this is the right fit, call (08) 6114 1845 and we will confirm the right path.
Your Family Navigator takes charge of the practical side of your situation: setting priorities, coordinating support and keeping the plan moving.
Identifying what needs attention first and agreeing on a realistic starting point.
Connecting you with the right Discovery Family Therapy practitioners and trusted external providers, and managing the coordination between them.
Appointments, applications and key conversations, with the information and confidence to participate fully.
Following up agreed actions and adjusting the plan as circumstances change.
Your Navigator documents this as a Family Support Plan: your priorities, who is involved and what happens next, kept current as things progress.
The Family Navigator works alongside you, not instead of you. You keep every decision. If counselling turns out to be the better fit for you or a family member, your Navigator will make that connection directly.
