Queer Mentoring Program


The Queer Mentoring Program (monash.edu/queermentor) at Monash University is an employability-focused mentoring program for Monash LGBTIQ+ to support their career development and help them prepare to enter the workforce.

As a mentor you can contribute to a student’s career future, provide insight to navigating sexuality and gender identity at work and support them in career planning and decision making.

As the Faculties LGBTIQ+ ally, I am particularly encouraging applications from individuals who are medical or allied health practitioners who would like to offer a mentoring partnership to medical or allied health LGBTIQ+ students in our Faculty.

Mentors must openly and comfortably identify as LGBTIQ+ and have at least five years professional experience in clinical medicine or allied health.

The mentoring partnership would typically run over 6 months with a one hour meeting each month.

If this sounds like something that suits you, please go to monash.edu/queermentor for more information and to complete the online form.

If you have any questions about this Program or any aspect of the LGBTIQ+ Ally network at Monash, please don't ever hesitate to contact Professor Brian Cooke (
brian.cooke@monash.eduor any other member of the network (monash.edu/ally).
