Mentor Program
The Congress provides a valuable opportunity to make connections and share knowledge and to facilitate this, the Organising Committee are offering a Mentor Program. This is simply an opportunity for you to catch up with your mentor/mentee over a coffee or lunch break and have a conversation, share ideas, challenges and opportunities. There is no expectation beyond the opportunity for a chance to make a connection and share a conversation with a colleague who shares a similar interest. If you would like to be mentored or would be keen to be a mentor, please indicate your interest on the registration form and also your main subject area of interest. Closer to the time of the Congress, we will facilitate contact with your designated mentor/mentee so you can make arrangements to meet at your convenience during the Congress.

You have the opportunity to take home a great souvenir from the Congress – the official Congress t-shirt featuring the unique Congress artwork. T-shirts are AU$30 each and must be ordered in advance when registering online for the Congress.
