Wāhine Connect Mentees
REGISTER AS A MENTEE
Kia ora Wāhine in Health!
Welcome—we’re so glad you’re here. Before registering as a mentee in our next cohort, please take a moment to read through our FAQs to ensure our programme is the right fit for you.
Our Clinical-lead and Matching Band meet several times a year (February, May, July, September, and November) to thoughtfully pair you with our mentors. If your request is outside these timeframes or is time-sensitive, please reach out to our team and we will do what we can to help!
We offer two streams of support:
1. Wāhine Connect JOURNEY This is for women who are seeking a one-on-one relationship with a mentor. You will be supported for around 6 months to help you and your mentor connect, and to focus on a number of specific issues, concerns or questions. You can meet in person or virtually. As with all mentoring relationships, the mentee is the driver, and is responsible for making contact with the mentor, and organising and driving the meetings. You will have resources and regular email support from us.
2. Wāhine Connect JUMP This is for women who want jump in to a ready-made network. It is designed to assist women at a decision-point in their careers or personal lives (e.g. considering changing specialties or direction, family planning, negotiating a contract), and is likely to consist of 1 meeting or phone call with 1 - 3 mentors, acting as ‘key informants’ (i.e. with personal experience with this issue, or knowledge by way of position).
There is a small administration fee payable upon registration ($50NZD), which can often be claimed back from your employer. Once you register, you’ll receive a confirmation and verification email—please check your inbox (and spam folders) and contact us if you don’t receive it.
For the best experience, we recommend using a desktop browser rather than a mobile phone when completing your registration.
