AuSPEN acknowledges that often novice clinician researchers find it difficult to get research started and often don’t have access to experienced researchers. This program will endeavour to bridge that gap.

The HSRAANZ Mentoring Program matches interested mentees with mentors for a 9-month mentoring journey. Mentees may be students, emerging researchers, mid-career researchers, anyone looking to move into the health services research field or to a clinical/industry role, or even experienced researchers seeking peer-mentoring. Mentees must be a member of HSRAANZ or staff/students of a HSRAANZ Organisation Member. Any health services researcher or policy maker can be a mentor. Ideally a mentor would have at least 3-5 years of research experience and, or completed a PhD. Early and mid-career researchers at a similar level or a few years in advance of the mentee can offer excellent and current support and advice. Mentors do not need to be HSRAANZ members.
