'It's early days, but the conversations are happening. And Bec is making sure Ava is in every room she needs to be in.'
Bec is also believed to be calling in some favours with old Home and Away pals like Isla Fisher and Chris Hemsworth to help open doors.
Some have even whispered that David, 54, may have been so impressed by Ava that he could mention her name to his ex, Courteney Cox, and her best friend Jennifer Aniston.
Jennifer, 57, currently owns the production company Echo Films, which she co-founded in 2008 with partner Kristin Hahn.
'Ava has always had her eyes on Hollywood. And Bec knows exactly what it takes to get there. She's been guiding her every step,' the source said.
They added that Bec is 'so proud' of Ava, 'she could burst', with the mother now looking at moving to LA temporarily to help Ava kick-start her career.
However, the insider has gone on to say it is a 'bittersweet' moment for Bec and Lleyton, as this could mean Ava will be 'leaving the nest for good'.
Daily Mail has reached out to Bec and Ava's representatives for comment.

'Lleyton has been telling Bec to reach out to some of her girlfriends, like Isla [Fisher], to help her get her mojo back, or some of her old TV contacts, but Bec is a private person. The last thing she wants is to throw a pity party,' they said.
Another source said it was the perfect time for Bec to return to Summer Bay, reprising her role as Hayley Smith on Home and Away for the first time since 2005.
Bec rose to fame playing the beloved character from 1998 to 2005 - she exited the series when she fell pregnant with Mia.
