Frequently Asked Questions

How does Indigenous mentoring differ from other types of mentoring?

Indigenous mentoring is rooted in culture, tradition and community. Unlike general mentoring, it incorporates storytelling, connection to Country and guidance from Elders or cultural leaders. This approach ensures learning is not only about personal development but also about strengthening identity, pride and community bonds. It’s especially important for Aboriginal youth, as it provides cultural grounding and support in facing modern challenges. For others, it offers valuable insight, understanding and respect for Aboriginal culture.
Why is Indigenous mentoring important for young people in today’s world?

Many young people face challenges like disconnection from culture, lack of role models or low confidence. Indigenous mentoring addresses these by providing culturally relevant guidance that builds identity, pride and resilience. Through mentoring, youth gain the confidence to make positive choices and feel more connected to community and heritage.

For Aboriginal youth, this cultural support is vital for wellbeing. For non-Indigenous youth, it fosters awareness, respect and a deeper appreciation of Australia’s history and traditions.
What can schools and organisations expect from Indigenous mentoring programs?

Schools and organisations can expect engaging, respectful and practical learning experiences. Programs may include storytelling, dance, artefact workshops, site visits or mentoring sessions that connect participants with Aboriginal culture. These programs improve cultural awareness, strengthen reconciliation goals and build inclusive environments.

Students often gain confidence, resilience and a stronger sense of identity, while organisations benefit from improved diversity and cultural competency. The result is lasting impact, with knowledge and experiences that extend well beyond the session itself.
