Sign up to meet and get advice from your Health Peer Mentor

New to studying in the Deakin Faculty of Health? It would be a great idea to sign up to have a peer mentor.

You’ll be paired up with an experienced student in the same or a similar course to yours to help guide you through your first five weeks of studying. They can share the tips and tricks they’ve picked up along the way for navigating your area of study and help you settle into Uni life.

Meet with your mentor

You’ll meet with your mentor once a week for the first five weeks where they will answer any questions you have and let you know about Deakin’s resources and support services.

Get a mentor now

The best time to get in touch with a peer mentor is in Week 1, so don’t wait! Register now to meet your peer mentor via the Faculty of Health Peer Mentoring program webpage.

Hear from past mentees

But don’t take our word for it, here’s what past students have said about their time with their mentors.

It was lovely to have a student who had recently gone through what we are going through help and guide us through transitioning to university life!

Having a support system especially within your first time attending uni really helps to make things less confronting and easier to adjust.

Mentor drop-in sessions

Can’t make it to a meeting or haven’t signed up for a mentor? Mentor drop-in sessions are run by experienced Health peer mentors and open to all Health students. Trimester 3 drop-in sessions are held online via Zoom.

You don’t need to register for these sessions, simply join the Zoom session at the scheduled time.

Please note that these sessions provide general advice and support. Specific assignment support is available via Study Assistance.

Session information and reminders will also be posted on the Faculty of Health CloudDeakin site each week.
