Returning home from hospital during, or following, a child’s cancer treatment can be daunting. 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 offers practical, emotional and financial support and connects users to services that may be helpful for their family situation

Development of the app

Over many years families have told us that the return home from intensive treatment can be one of the most challenging times in their cancer experience. Many parents and carers talk about feeling isolated and anxious without the supportive environment of the hospital. We consulted with families through a survey and one-on-one interviews to understand the challenges in more depth, in order to build the New Normal Navigator app. Parents and carers have been involved in all stages of developing the app, sharing their tips and personal experiences and providing feedback through the testing phase. The New Normal Navigator was developed by the digital agency Isobar with funding from the Federal Government.
