A mentoring relationship is a powerful development experience that can deliver personal and professional benefits for both mentors and mentees.

Forestry Australia’s mentoring program runs for nine months and is designed to establish connections within the forestry sector by pairing experienced forestry professionals with those who are seeking to evolve their career. Engagement and connection can be in person or online, whatever works for you.

The program has been developed around a framework and tool kit of resources which will support participants to ensure effective and sustainable knowledge transfer, skill acquisition and maintaining momentum for all participants.

Mentors and Mentees are encouraged to invest one hour a month at minimum to meet plus additional time to prepare for each meeting including goal setting, pre-reading, planning and reflection activities.

To apply to participate in the Mentoring Program, complete an online application providing information about yourself and what you are looking for in a mentoring partner.

This information will inform the matching process conducted by members of the Mentoring Committee. This process aims to align mentees and mentors and aid in creating successful outcomes for all participants.

Participation in the Mentoring Program is free for Forestry Australia members.
