The CFA Society Australia Mentoring Program offers ambitious CFA Society members to connect and learn from senior industry professionals in a 6-month development program.
The program provides successful applicants with tools, resources and guidance to convert ‘casual chats’ into powerful conversations. The personalised, structured program, facilitated virtually and in association with MentorKey, adapts to the specific needs of the individual users, building impactful relationships.
Mentees are matched 1:1 with mentors based on key interests and career aspiration alignment. Mentees are guided to confidently steer discussions on topics such as their aspirations, overcoming challenges, and boldly pursuing and achieving their career development and goals. The platform equips mentees to prepare and drive the agenda for their one-to-one mentoring sessions, and to maintain momentum while tracking progress in the online portal.
Mentors are provided with the right frameworks and tools to help deliver on their mentee’s aspirations, development needs and goals.
The CFA Society Australia 2025 Mentoring Program officially concluded on 26 November. This exclusive member benefit connected over 30 mentor-mentee pairs in a 6-month journey of professional growth, shared insights and meaningful connections.
We were delighted to host an in-person gathering in October, where mentors and mentees came together to celebrate their achievements and strengthen their professional networks.
A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated mentors who generously volunteered their time, expertise and guidance to support mentees.

Hear from Carmen Leung, CFA, one of our outstanding mentors, who shared her reflections on the value of mentorship:
“I joined the CFA Mentoring Program to give back and empower the next generation of finance professionals. For me, mentoring is about guidance and purpose-driven leadership – challenging my mentee to step outside their comfort zone and connecting them with people who can unlock new possibilities. Helping others grow while building on the support I’ve received is one of the most rewarding parts of my career.” – Carmen Leung, CFA
