For Mentees

The Nursing Leadership Mentoring Program is facilitated by the College of Nursing and Health Sciences to provide postgraduate leadership students with the opportunity to be professionally mentored in leadership by industry representatives and Flinders alumni. The application process for the Program opens in December 2024 with participants advised of the outcome of their application in May 2025.

The 2025 Program launches in May 2025. At this time successful applicants will be notified and matched with their mentors.

From June 2025 to March 2026, you will meet with your mentors at a frequency that suits you both. Meetings should take place monthly at a minimum but can be more often if you and your mentor wish. You will negotiate with your mentor whether these sessions will be held over the phone, face to face, or a combination of both.

Depending on what is discussed and agreed with your mentor, you may also need to review materials prior to meetings, or attend activities and events. Participating in these activities will be at your discretion. Mentees will be required to complete a short survey in order to complete the Program and receive their certificates. 

To be a Nursing Leadership Mentor Program mentee you must have completed the topic NURS 9126: Leadership in Health Studies at Flinders University.

As part of the registration process you will need to submit a detailed application form, which articulates your aspirations as a leader and why you are applying to participate in the Program.

Students indicate their values and aspirations as a leader at the time of application and mentors are matched with students based on these statements and the mentors experience and leadership style. 

You may include this request when emailing your application, however, please bear in mind that we may not have mentors who meet your exact requirements. 

Registrations open in December 2024 and close in the last week of March 2025.
