Call for Expressions of Interest: the 2026 Australian GEDSI Alumni Network Mentoring Program

We are excited to invite Expressions of Interest (EOIs) for the 2026 Australian GEDSI Alumni Network Mentoring Program!

The Australian GEDSI Alumni Network Mentoring Program, supported by Australia Awards in Indonesia (AAI) and delivered by CBM Global IAG, connects Australian alumni with shared interests, experience and expertise in gender equality, disability and social inclusion (GEDSI). This six-month mentoring and learning program aims to strengthen alumni capacity, leadership and professional networks through two-way knowledge exchange. Experienced alumni contribute as Mentors, while Mentees gain guidance, perspectives and support relevant to their professional and community contexts.

The program also provides opportunities for alumni to build meaningful connections, share good practice, and strengthen their ability to advance GEDSI within their professional and community contexts. Through a combination of individual mentoring, group learning, thematic webinars and networking opportunities, participants will strengthen their ability to apply GEDSI principles in their work and contribute to more inclusive development outcomes.

All the Australian GEDSI Alumni Network members are welcome to apply. Through this initiative, Australian alumni will have a structured opportunity to learn from and support one another through a mentoring relationship. 

Australian alumni who successfully complete the program will receive certificates recognising their contributions.

EOIs are now open! Submit your Expression of Interest by 11 September 2026.
