Key Considerations:
- Women on Precarious Visas: Many mentees may hold unstable visas, lacking access to work rights and government benefits.
- Common Barriers:
- Limited access to subsidised child care and healthcare.
- High costs of converting overseas qualifications to Australian equivalents.
Mentoring Strategies:
- Practice IT skills together.
- Discuss cultural perspectives on money and obligations.
- Assist in finding English language classes and obtaining driver licenses.
- Support self-care activities, such as cooking and sewing workshops.
