AHPA / PHAA Mentoring Program
The Victorian Branch of the Australian Health Promotion Association (AHPA) and the Public Health Association of Australia (Victorian Branch) (PHAA) are conducting a Mentoring Program for members of the associations. The program provides an opportunity for the associations to contribute to building the capacity of the health promotion and public health workforce in Victoria.
The aim of the Mentoring Program is to establish planned mentoring relationships that will assist in the personal and professional development of people interested in improving their practice and/or expanding their interest in health promotion and public health.
The objectives for the Mentoring Program are to:
- Develop and implement a mentoring model that will enhance the health promotion and public health knowledge skills and expertise of participants.
- Provide a training program for up to 40 participants wishing to be mentors or mentees.
- Provide up to 20 members of AHPA and PHAA wishing to develop or improve their practice in health promotion or public health access to appropriate mentors.
- Provide a framework for negotiated agreements between mentors and mentees.
The program is advertised each year via email to Victorian members of PHAA and AHPA
