Providing an opportunity for reflective practice, development of new skills and increased
knowledge and networks for both mentees and mentors.
Anyone with two or more years experience in their work role can register as a mentor – you
do not need to be an expert! With many new graduates now registering for the program,
mentors are in high demand. We’d love to hear from mentors to match with these keen
members.
On the other hand, if you are a new graduate recently employed, changing your field of
practice, new to an area, embarking on a research project, new to management or isolated in
a sole position, why not register as a mentee to gain some extra support.
The Association is please announce it now has a new brochure about the Mentoring Program.
This brochure is now available via the Association website or by contacting the Association
