Welcome to Authentic Support

About us

At Authentic Support, we all have a clear direction in capacity building. We listen to our mentee's wants and needs and encourage and facilitate personal development. We achieve this by finding new pathways and experiences that enhance and enrich our mentees’ lives for the better.

About the role

We are here to assist others to live their best lives. We achieve this through collaboration and connection. We aid mentees in uncovering their hopes, dreams, and goals and help them achieve them. Authentic Support believes; in letting you choose HOW and WHEN you want to work. Just as you support our mentees to the best of your ability, the team at Authentic Support is here to support you in living your ideal lifestyle. Let us know what hours you want to work, your strengths, and the type of mentees you want to support. Collaboration and team development is highly important to us at Authentic Support. We hold fortnightly group dinners for all the team to catch up and share ideas for our future. Each mentee is never a single person’s responsibility. Instead, we work together to get the best outcomes for our mentees.
