Inclusive mentoring starts with feeling safe to be yourself.

Mentors help create respectful, supportive spaces where women and gender diverse mentees can build confidence, trust and connection. Small actions make a big difference.

Inclusion strengthens mentoring relationships and outcomes for everyone.

The impacts of incarceration don’t end at release.

For many women, prison can mean losing housing, employment, connection and custody of children, creating barriers that continue long after a sentence ends.

Support, not stigma, changes lives. 💜

Last week we celebrated Volunteer Week and the incredible people who make WAM what it is 💜

To every volunteer mentor supporting our mentees, thank you. Your time, care and commitment are at the heart of our program and we truly could not do this without you.

We’ve loved connecting with so many of you this year through movie nights, social media filming, website videos, mentor training and volunteer expos across Victoria in Ballarat, Geelong, Wyndham and Pakenham.

A huge welcome as well to all of our new mentors who have joined the WAM community this year. We’re so excited to have you with us!

Now we can’t wait to formally celebrate all of our volunteers later this week with a night of food, drinks, laughs and awards ✨

Last weekend was IDAHOBIT.

We stand with LGBTQIA+ women and gender diverse people impacted by the justice system and acknowledge the importance of creating safe, respectful and inclusive spaces where everyone feels seen and supported. There is no place for homophobia, biphobia or transphobia. 🏳️‍🌈💪

Our mentors are never doing this work alone.

With two full days of training, ongoing support from our Program Coordinator and regular peer mentor groups, we make sure mentors feel confident, connected and supported throughout their mentoring journey.

Here is what mentors shared about their experiences in our 2026 evaluation report.
