You still have until Friday 5 June to join the Faculty of Health Peer Mentor Program for Semester 2 or Trimester 2 2026. Mentor positions are available for all Faculty of Health courses with an intake in T2.
What is the Peer Mentor Program?
Starting university can be an intimidating time and so peer mentors play an important role supporting new students transitioning to Deakin. As a mentor, you’ll use your experience and knowledge to help new students adjust, sharing advice about Deakin’s services, general study skills and social activities.
The Faculty of Health Peer Mentor Program matches new Health students with a peer mentor during the first five weeks of their commencement at Deakin. Peer mentors are often matched to students who are studying the same course or similar subjects.
See yourself as a peer mentor?
As a peer mentor, you will:
- become a role model to new students
- expand your network of contacts and friends within the university
- develop your interpersonal and leadership skills for future employability
- access exclusive Students Helping Students (SHS) events and employment opportunities
- receive a letter of commendation and a gift.
