Why Mentor Walks Works
Mentor Walks in Parramatta brings together women from different industries and career stages in a simple, intentional format.
Walking side by side in a small group lowers formality
and creates space for more open, focused career conversations.
Local community and connection matter, and regular walks help women build meaningful relationships that extend beyond a single conversation.
Intergenerational insight adds depth and perspective, helping participants build the capability to navigate decisions, transitions and what’s next in their careers.

The Conversations Women Bring —
and What They Take Away

"How do I progress into a leadership role?
It was good to bounce my thoughts about a suggestion that would increase my visibility and influence and get guidance on how to approach it."
⎯ Aisha, Parramatta mentee
"I need advice around building confidence, and how to take the next steps in finding another job, especially since I've been with the same company (but different roles) for almost 10 years.
Leaving the walk inspired by women in various stages of their careers. My mentor encouraged me to just go and put myself out there, but also to see how I can leverage the networks that I've already made."
⎯ Vicky, Parramatta mentee
"How can I build my confidence in a new industry? How to stand out from the crowd for exceptional reasons.
Around work life boundaries and the advice on ensuring I take time for myself."
⎯ Jenny, Parramatta mentee
