For all people in Australia living with mental health and wellbeing challenges to live a life that is meaningful to them.
Service Navigators (SN) provide coordination of support at the individual consumer level to ensure that individuals get the right primary mental health care at the right time.
The SN will assist consumers to have choice in accessing a range of relevant health and support services (e.g., housing) to achieve recovery goals and manage their health conditions on a day-to-day basis in the community. The SN will support consumers, families, and carers to have a better understanding of the service options available across a range of service domains.
The SN will also support service providers (e.g., GPs, Hospital staff, Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations) to have a better understanding of services available in their regions to support the social, mental, and physical health needs of consumers with severe mental health conditions. The SN will promote to service providers effective multi-disciplinary care and enable understanding of psychosocial consumer referral pathways, available supports, service gaps and service capacity.
Service Navigators work as part of a collaborative team, supported by regular opportunities to reflect upon their practice and access comprehensive training and development.
