Mentor Exchange
This programme matches experienced members with early career Chartered Accountants.
As mentors, members of more than ten years and with relevant skills can offer advice, information and guidance to assist another CA's personal and professional development.
Mentees in turn develop a new professional relationship, meeting with their mentor to discuss their goals, career progression and skill development needs.
Mentees must have been a member for less than five years to be eligible for the programme. Mentor Exchange is run annually and is designed to run for six months with any ongoing relationship left up to the participants.
The programme is currently available in Adelaide, Auckland, Brisbane, Christchurch, Hamilton, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, London, Melbourne, Perth, Singapore, Sydney and Wellington.

Local Leadership Teams and Member Representative Groups
New Zealand-based members can serve on their Local Leadership Team.
These teams provide advice on the needs and preferences of members in their local area. Each team requires up to eight members.
Our members in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and the UK are represented by local Member Groups.
These groups provide support to members and, through their Councillors, provide advice to the Chartered Accountants ANZ Council.
Special Interest Groups and Discussion Groups
Special Interest Groups (SIGs) and Discussion Groups provide opportunities for like-minded members to meet together regularly.
Most SIGs and Discussion Group meetings qualify for CPD hours.
SIGs are organised regionally in New Zealand while in Australia Discussion Groups may be organised by your state office or directly by members for members.
