Because Everybody Needs A Mentor
GUIDANCE, SUPPORT AND GROWTH: YOUR JOURNEY STARTS WITH MENTOR MATES.
Life Is Easier With A Mentor
We all need someone to look up to and provide Guidance, Support, and encourage Personal development during our life! We help you find that person at Mentor Mates!
Mentor Mates is dedicated to fostering relationships between support workers and YOU the participant! Our Mentors help you put the right systems in place to ensure you successfully achieve your goals! We also aim to get you out into the community through social groups. It's a great way to make new friends, have fun, and be part of a welcoming group.
Life is easier surrounded by Mentors & Mates! So come check out our social groups and find some new mates!

What we do
How it works
01.
Getting to know you
When you or your coordinator first make contact, we will organise a time for us to meet in a place that you are comfortable with so that we can get to know each other.
This is where you tell us all the goals and day-to-day tasks that you would like our Mentors to help you with! We will also discuss a support schedule that works for you and learn how best to support you!
02.
Get to know us
​
Now that we know your goals, interests, and hobbies, we then match you with one of our Mentors. We do this by matching you with our staff who have similar interests and have extensive knowledge about a new skill that you want to learn to ensure you achieve your goals!
We then introduce you to your new Mentor, we understand it can be tough to meet new support staff so we are happy to meet with you and your coordinator/ family member or previous Support worker to ensure a smooth transition.
03.
Tracking your goals
We believe communication between the participant and the service provider is crucial for ensuring results while providing quality care.
We do this by encouraging you, the participant, to contact us if you have any questions or would like to make changes to your schedule of support. We would like to hear your feedback to see if you are enjoying our services and reaching your goals as you grow with us!
