Health Peer Mentoring

The Faculty of Health Peer Mentoring program matches new students with a peer mentor to help navigate Deakin resources during the first five weeks of study.

Health Peer Mentoring

A peer mentor is an experienced student within the Faculty of Health in the same or similar course to you, who will support your transition to life as a Deakin student.

You can:

Mentor drop-in sessions

Can’t make it to a meeting or haven’t signed up for a mentor? Mentor drop-in sessions are open to all health students.

Trimester 1 drop-in sessions are being held online and on campus at the Deakin Burwood Library.

You don’t need to register for these sessions, just come to the library or join the Zoom (please copy and save the link below) at the days and times listed below.

Deakin's peer mentoring program is excellent! I recommend that all first years should sign up to this free program as it is a great way to not only learn, but form new friendships with students in your course!
