WISTA Australia 2025 Mentoring Program – Mentor Application

Thank you for your interest in becoming a mentor in the WISTA Australia Mentoring Program. This program is a key initiative to support the next generation of female leaders in the maritime, trade, logistics, and related industries.

A mentor is an experienced and thoughtful professional who is committed to sharing their time, knowledge, and insights to help others grow. By offering guidance, support, and encouragement, mentors play a vital role in shaping the future of our industry and empowering emerging leaders.
