VRAN Mentor Service

8 July 2021

A big part of our successful strategy at VRAN is the use of mentors.

We believe in investing in our community, so that they can deliver the best rabbit programs possible.

Our mentors are recognised as experts in rabbit management, community engagement and community led action.  These passionate change agents provide invaluable expertise and insights from their extensive experience in working on rabbit programs across community, industry and government settings.

They come from a range of backgrounds and are based across various location across the state and generously share their skills and knowledge with others working in rabbit management.

The VRAN mentors:

  • share their knowledge and build capacity in community groups and workplaces delivering rabbit programs
  • facilitate the VRAN Leadership in Rabbit Management course (Rabbit Bootcamp) to build expertise across the state
  • build capacity within the VRAN Learning Networks and support their journey post Rabbit Bootcamp
  • build confidence with those working in the pest management field
