Join us for the ‘Walking Together, Learning Together’ mentoring series
Would you benefit from having someone to talk to, who understands your everyday work, who could provide you with insight and advice related to your career path? Are you a service manager with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff who may be interested in being a mentor or a mentee?
Join us this year in our continuing ‘Walking Together, Learning Together’ Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Mentoring Program, where First Nations workers in the Domestic and Family Violence, Sexual Assault, Women’s Health and Wellbeing sectors come together to share knowledge, skills, and wisdom with those new to working in the sector.
The program includes opportunities to build skills and confidence, exploring topics like:
- communication skills
- emotional intelligence
- social and personal growth.
Working in this sector can be both rewarding and challenging. For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander workers, this can mean juggling job expectations with cultural, community, and family responsibilities or obligations.
Now is the perfect time to consider team members who may benefit from mentoring, or those whose work, life experience, and work ethic would make them a great a mentor for someone new to the workforce.
Register for an online information session on 11 March at 9:00 am -10:00 am or email workforce@healingfoundation.org.au to learn more.
“Coming into the program I was very focused on my weaknesses. Now I’m much more focused on my strengths.”

Sessions will be facilitated by Eileen Heywood, lead consultant, and co-hosted by Rona Scherer of WorkUP Queensland.
Walking Together, Learning Together has been designed to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander frontline workers of services funded by the Department of Attorney General, across Domestic Family Violence, Sexual Assault, Women’s Health and Wellbeing sector.
