This role works with disadvantaged young people who are transitioning out of Permanency Support (foster care) or have a background of Youth Homelessness or Juvenile Justice, as they transition from adolescence to adulthood. Some young people leaving out-of-home care face this transition without family support and with significant additional barriers. They have a higher risk of becoming homeless during this stage of their lives.
The primary role of the Personal Advisor is to provide mentoring advice to a young person as they transition from Out of Home Care or Youth Homelessness to independence. The goal is to help the young person implement aspects of their Leaving Care Plan, provide advice and advocacy, strengthen their personal support networks and support them to build confidence and establish independence as young adults. In addition, the role provides transitional support to young people to build their resilience and capacity to establish and maintain long term accommodation, permanently diverting these young people from the homelessness system.

“For as long as I can remember, Veritas House has held a pretty special place in our community. The children, young people and families Veritas supports can often be some of the most vulnerable, and they deserve the care and support Veritas House has delivered for so long. When the opportunity to be a part of that came along, I had to jump at it. My role is the Clinical and Consultation Services Manager, but really what that means is I manage our clinical team. I get to do a mix of clinical work myself, as well as helping support the clinicians we employ, and building the CCS service.”
Peter Rohr, Clinical and Consultation Services Manager
