New Normal Navigator

About New Normal Navigator Android App

Returning home from hospital during, or following, a child’s cancer treatment can be daunting; and the months afterwards can be tough. Many families feel unsure of where to look for support. The New Normal Navigator is a free app designed to give parents of diagnosed children the resources to help adjust to what many describe as ‘a new normal’. The app has been developed by Camp Quality, using input from Australian families who have faced these challenges and provided their insights to help others at this critical time. The Navigator generates personalised information and connects users to services that may be helpful for their family situation.

The New Normal Navigator was developed thanks to funding from the Australian Government Department of Health.
