You should not need to know what a service is called in order to use it. The Care Navigator is the part of this site built for the person who knows what is happening, but not which door it belongs behind.
The gap it closes
Most people arrive with a situation, not a service name. "I've been exhausted for months and I can't switch off at night" is not a request for mental health and wellbeing; "my son's preventer runs out every six weeks and I keep re-explaining his asthma to a new receptionist" is not a request for ongoing condition care. A clinic's services list is written in the clinic's language, and the person reading it is usually not fluent in it.
The Care Navigator exists to close that gap. You write what is happening in your own words — one or two sentences is enough — and it returns the services on this site that fit, each with a short reason and a link to that service's page or booking journey.
How it works
Type your situation into the box the way you would say it to a friend. The helper reads it against this site's own list of services and picks one to three that genuinely fit, then says in plain words why each one is relevant. From there you can read the service page or send an appointment request. Nothing is booked, no account is needed, and nothing is required to try it.
It also recognises when something should not wait. If what you describe sounds like an emergency, it says so straight away and points you to 000, or Lifeline on 13 11 14 for crisis support, instead of suggesting an appointment.
