Mentoring
At Ozsom Care, we believe that every person deserves someone in their corner — someone who genuinely listens, understands where you're coming from, and helps you figure out where you want to go. Our Mentoring program is built on real, trusting relationships between participants and their dedicated Ozsom mentor. It's not about telling you what to do. It's about helping you discover what you're capable of, building on your strengths, and giving you the tools and confidence to take on life's next chapter — whatever that looks like for you.
What Our Mentoring Program Offers
Our mentors provide consistent, one-on-one support that goes beyond a single session. Here's what you can expect:
- A dedicated Ozsom mentor matched to your personality, goals, and interests
- Regular one-on-one sessions — in person, in the community, or at a location that works for you
- Support with setting personal goals and creating a clear plan to achieve them
- Guidance through challenges, setbacks, and new life transitions
- Help building self-confidence, decision-making skills, and self-advocacy
- Ongoing check-ins to celebrate progress and adjust your plan as you grow
What Can Mentoring Help With?
Mentoring at Ozsom Care is flexible and person-centred — your mentor works with you on what matters most to you. Common areas we support include:
- Goal Setting & Planning — identifying what you want in life and mapping out practical steps to get there
- Employment & Education — building confidence for work, exploring career pathways, or preparing for study
- Social Confidence — developing communication skills, building friendships, and navigating social situations
- Independence — learning to manage day-to-day decisions, routines, and responsibilities with greater ease
- Community Involvement — connecting with local activities, groups, and networks that match your interests
- Health & Wellbeing — developing positive habits, routines, and a balanced approach to looking after yourself
Who Is This For?
Our Mentoring program is ideal for NDIS participants who:
- Are working toward a specific personal, social, or employment goal
- Want consistent support from one trusted person rather than a rotating team
- Are going through a life transition — leaving school, starting work, moving to a new home, or building independence
- Feel they have more potential to unlock with the right guidance and encouragement
- Are ready to invest in their own growth, at their own pace
Whether you're just starting out or ready for your next big step, your Ozsom mentor is there to help you get there.
How Ozsom Care Supports You
What makes our Mentoring program different is the depth of the relationship. We don't just assign a support worker — we match you with a mentor who genuinely invests in your journey. Our approach includes:
- Careful Matching — we take the time to pair you with a mentor who suits your personality, goals, and communication style
- Consistent Support — the same mentor, session after session, so you can build real trust and momentum
- Community-Based Sessions — mentoring happens out in the real world, not just in an office, so skills are learned in context
- Strength-Based Approach — we focus on what you can do and build from there, never on limitations
- Registered NDIS Provider — fully accredited, with every session documented and aligned to the goals in your NDIS plan
NDIS Funding
Mentoring support at Ozsom Care can be funded through your NDIS plan under the Capacity Building: Improved Living Arrangements, Increased Social and Community Participation, or Finding and Keeping a Job categories depending on your individual goals. Our team will work with you and your support coordinator to identify the right funding line and ensure every session delivers real, measurable value toward your plan goals.
At Ozsom Care, the right mentor can change everything — and we're here to be that person for you.
