Our Practice Peer Support program is focused on the unique needs of sole practitioners in Australia and New Zealand. Throughout this program, mentees are able to gain advice, build professional connections and develop strategies for coping with increased workload. Mentors are encouraged to apply who are able to provide valuable insights and guidance based on individual experience. The program is hosted in a virtual and non-competitive environment that allows each mentee to obtain valuable insights and knowledge, whilst earning up to 7 CPD hours.

Introducing culturally aligned pairings

CA ANZ is proud to introduce a new, optional pairing element within the mentoring programs that enables Māori, Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and Pasifika members to be matched with mentoring partners who share similar cultural identities and lived experiences.

Culturally aligned pairings help create a foundation for shared connection, alongside the program’s focus on career and professional growth.

Kiri McRae, Founder of KōKiri Ltd, reflects on the significance of this opportunity noting, “having shared cultural grounding can create quicker alignment, safety and understanding… creating a non-judgemental, mana-enhancing space to explore identity, belonging and confidence”.

What is involved?

Applicants will complete a profile questionnaire to submit with their application. Members are assigned to small mentoring groups centred around common practice issues.

This program intake will run from Replace with October 2026 to May 2027.

Confirmed mentoring groups will be invited to our Mentoring Connections event. Participants are expected to meet online with their mentoring group four times over the period of the program.

All members who participate in the program will be provided with a guide, action plan and relevant supporting materials. We will also regularly check in with participants and provide general support.
