Speak with one of our Peer Navigators for information, guidance and support, connect with other families just like yours and find the services and supports your child needs in your local area.
Our experienced Peer Navigation team can provide free, individualised support to help you navigate your child’s journey, including milestones and key points of transition.
With their own lived experience of caring for a family member with a disability, our Peer Navigators have extensive knowledge of the health, disability, and education systems.
Each year, they guide thousands of families through their child’s journey by providing practical guidance, answering questions and helping with pathway planning.
These sessions can be conducted over the phone or via video call.
