The Aboriginal Mentoring Program was highly successful when it was first run in 2008. Its aim is to increase retention of Aboriginal staff in the public sector and support more Aboriginal staff to take up senior positions. It is highly supported by the Department of Premier and Cabinet’s Workforce Strategy and the Department of Aboriginal Affairs.

It has a blended learning approach with two days face to face at the commencement of the program, and a half day wrap up session at the end. In between mentors and mentees communicate by phone, email, and in a variety of online environments. A blended learning approach will increase participation from regional areas where many Aboriginal staff are located.
