Join the Access Connections Mentoring Program and help to challenge, motivate, inspire, and empower the next generation of undergraduate students.
The Access Connections Program connects University of Melbourne undergraduate students who are under-represented in higher education, with mentors from our alumni community.
The Access Connections Mentoring Program runs in Semester 2. Registrations for mentors and student mentees for the 2025 program will open in March 2025. If you have any questions please contact the Program Coordinator via email access-connections@unimelb.edu.au.

“With such great matching, my mentor and I were completely at ease to get down to big questions straight away. I can’t recommend this program more, and the insight I have gained is invaluable as I embark on life after university. I feel so much more confident and prepared, while also knowing that I have someone with industry experience who I can meet up with for more wisdom for years to come.”

Mentors
Signing up as a mentor is a simple process and only takes a few minutes. Once you register we will contact you to advise on the next steps in the mentoring process.
"Access Connections is a fantastic way to connect with students and be part of their evolving careers. It's a hugely positive program, I think everyone with a bit of spare time should give mentoring a try!"
