After a successful two-year pilot, and thorough evaluation via surveys and interviews, Nurse & Midwife Support is excited to launch an enhanced and evidence-informed Graduate Mentorship Program.
Using our learnings, we have redeveloped a refreshed program that will be starting early 2026. The program will be a nationally accessible 12-month online program for nurses or midwives with 5+ years of experience and graduate students looking for mentorship. As a mentor, you will be paired with a new graduate, and as a mentee, you will be paired with an experienced nurse or midwife.
While the frequency of your meetings will be up to you, the aim of the program is to foster supportive and collaborative relationship within the nursing and midwifery field, and it has been designed to:
- Strengthen workforce sustainability by investing in the retention and development of early-career nurses and midwives.
- Provide tailored support and strategies for new graduates as they navigate diverse clinical and non-clinical roles.
- Encourage life-long learning through nurturing reflective practice and ongoing professional growth.
- Build resilience and autonomy to empower graduates to confidently embed their scope of practice within professional standards.
All participants enrolled in the Graduate Mentorship Program will have access to:
- Launch sessions after matching
- Regular program check-ins featuring guest industry speakers
- Access to a secure portal with resources, toolkits, templates and guides to help you succeed in your mentorship partnership
