West Kimberley Service Mapping
West Kimberley Futures, as part of the Empowered Communities initiative, has developed the West Kimberley Child and Family Wellbeing and Youth Wellbeing Service System Map to support greater visibility of services across the West Kimberley region.
The Service System Map provides a bird’s-eye view of child, family, and youth wellbeing services across Broome, Bidyadanga, Dampier Peninsula, Derby, Fitzroy Valley, and surrounding communities. The map has been designed from the service users’ point of view, making it easier to understand what services are available and how to access them at different stages of life.
The purpose of the map is to support families, young people, service providers, and community members to better navigate the service system according to their needs. It highlights how services connect across life phases and locations, and supports culturally responsive pathways through care.
West Kimberley Futures is committed to supporting the use of the Service System Map as a practical tool to strengthen coordination and contribute to positive change in child, family, and youth wellbeing services. Service providers are encouraged to download and print the map and use it to assist community members in navigating available supports.
Please note: The map is easiest to read when printed at A0 size.
