The Lucy Mentoring Program is a one on one mentoring program offered to female undergraduate students in the faculty of business and economics, in their 2nd year and above of undergraduate studies. The program connects female students with industry leaders and professionals. The relationships the mentees build with their mentors helps them with identifying the skills they need to be successful in their future career paths, as well as offering advice and guidance. Both the mentees and mentors are required to be committed to the program by spending 20 hours together over 5 months.

Victorian town Maldon, renowned for its historical charm, introduces Vintage Shorts in 2024. This innovative festival extends a local and global invitation to filmmakers. It encourages them to delve into the essence of the old or vintage, to uncover and portray the inherent beauty in aged objects, homes, places, and individuals. Organiser Paul Kooperman said it's the festival is “About pening our eyes to the beauty, wisdom, history, and experience that comes with age, our wrinkles marking where our smiles have been." An early submission – The Op Shop directed by Lee Rogers – is available to watch online.https://www.vintageshorts.net/submissions

(NFP) organisations work at the front lines of social need, providing services
to families and communities under increasing strain from climate emergencies,
economic stress, homelessness and mental health crises. NFPs are also a vital
component of Australia’s social fabric, contributing nearly a tenth of overall
economic activity, more than a tenth of employees, and millions of volunteers.
They fill the gap when government and the private sector are unable or
unwilling to deliver.
Yet there is a widespread belief that they should
do all this without incurring indirect operating costs, which undermines their
success and sustainability. https://scholarships.org.au/media/effective-for-purpose-leadership-is-more-critical-than-ever/
