Being a Mentor for Inclusion WA means that you are a positive and strong role model who can work flexibly alongside people who have a disability or mental health conditions that may be feeling socially isolated.

What makes us unique

We mindfully match Mentors to clients based on common interests, demographics, availabilities, skills and knowledge.

We do not roster our staff. Instead, we enable you and your clients to decide when you will regularly meet, based on their needs and your availability.

We promote a positive work-life balance and our casual work environment allows you to fit work around your existing commitments.
