What is a Parent Mentor?
Your lived experience as a parent of a Deaf or hard of hearing child is unique and profound. It has the power to help support and educate other parents and families on their own journeys!
Parent mentors will guide and support new parents and guardians of Deaf and hard of hearing children through workshops and community-based activities.
Mentors will receive valuable training and development to deliver workshops and hold community events. They will play a pivotal role in building a strong parent network and using their experience and knowledge to lead parents, families and organisations in WA.
Who can apply?
Parents and guardians of Deaf and hard of hearing children in the Perth area are encouraged to apply!
There are no additional prerequisites or certain amount of parenting experience required. As a parent mentor, your primary role will be to guide and support new parents with your lived experience.
Please note: this parent mentor opportunity is a volunteer role and will require in-person attendance in Perth, WA during 2026.
