Out-of-Home Care

OOHC Mentoring & Support Services

Trauma-informed OOHC mentoring and practical support for young people in out-of-home care across Australia — delivered with consistency, care and genuine connection.

OOHC Mentors Who Walk Alongside Young People

Finding Zenith provides OOHC mentoring across Australia, working closely with case workers, carers, families and young people to deliver wrap-around support that is consistent, compassionate and goal-focused. We understand the unique challenges faced by young people in out-of-home care and tailor every service to their individual needs.

Mentoring

Our OOHC mentors provide one-on-one and group mentoring for young people in out-of-home care, helping them build trust, confidence, resilience and life skills through consistent, relationship-based support.

At Finding Zenith, we know support isn't always about fixing problems or finding the right answers. Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is simply be present. We walk alongside young people through life's highs and lows, providing encouragement, connection, and a trusted relationship that stays.

We believe growth happens through both support and enjoyment. By creating opportunities for fun, adventure, community connection, and meaningful experiences, we help young people build confidence, discover their strengths, and find a true sense of belonging.

Day Respite

Structured, engaging day programs that give carers a break while young people enjoy safe, fun and meaningful activities in a supportive environment.

Supervised Contact

Safe, neutral and professionally supervised contact sessions between young people and their family members, managed with sensitivity and care.

Transport

Reliable, safe transport to appointments, school, activities and contact visits — ensuring young people can access the support they need.

Restoration Work

Through our experience in Out-of-Home Care (OOHC), we have seen firsthand how placement changes can disrupt a young person's progress, stability, and relationships. As trauma-informed youth workers and mentors, we use our skills to build bridges of understanding between young people and their families, helping to rebuild trust and prepare for successful reunification.

We work collaboratively with DCJ, health and allied health professionals, schools, and community supports to ensure families receive coordinated, holistic support. Our goal is to strengthen relationships, prioritise safety and wellbeing, and create sustainable pathways for young people to return to their families, communities, and loved ones.

School Holiday Program

Action-packed, structured holiday programs for young people in out-of-home care — giving carers a well-earned break while young people enjoy safe, fun and memorable experiences.
