Help the students who are where you once were

1. 1

   Step 1

   Create your profile and get verified

   Register and choose Mentor. Fill in your university, course, languages and a short introduction - this is your public profile.

   Then upload photo ID and a current transcript. A person on our team checks them. Your profile can be booked once you are verified and at least one service is approved.

   • You must be currently enrolled at an Australian university
   • Your documents are private and never shown on your profile
   • A Mentee can also become a Mentor

   Start your mentor profile

   myunimentor.com/user/register?type=mentor

   

   Choose Mentor here and the rest of the form adapts to you.

   Step 2

   Set up payouts for paid bookings

   To be paid, connect a payout account with Stripe, our payment provider: Settings → Payouts → Set up payouts with Stripe. Stripe asks for your name, address, date of birth and the bank account to pay into. MyUniMentor never sees or stores your bank details.

   Set up once, in about 5 minutes

   Stripe checks your identity, not us

   Needed for paid bookings, not for $0 sessions

   Step 3

   Describe your services, prices and availability

   Choose what you help with and describe it honestly. Prices are per hour, and you can price online, in person and group separately. A group price is per participant. Switch off any format you do not offer.

   Mentees propose a date and time when they book. You accept only what suits you.

   Price per hour, per format

   Group price per participant

   Optional: offer a service at $0 for your career development

   Our team approves each new service before it appears. Do not promise outcomes or give regulated professional advice.

   Step 4

   Manage bookings and deliver sessions

   Every approved mentor, including a New Mentor, accepts and delivers their own bookings. Super Mentor status is not needed to be booked.

   Answer each request within 48 hours. If you cannot take it, decline it and our team arranges another mentor or refunds the mentee. Once you accept, exchange meeting details in Messages (a link, a place, or contact details) and deliver the session.

   • The New Mentor label is removed after three reviews averaging 4 stars or more
   • You are never assigned a booking you did not accept

   myunimentor.com/myUnimentors/home

   

   This is where your profile appears once you are approved.

   Step 5

   Mark sessions complete and track payment

   After the session, mark it complete. The mentee confirms it happened, and then your payout is initiated through Stripe. If they report a problem, or do not answer within 14 days, our team reviews it on the evidence and tells you both.

   A review is optional for the mentee and never a condition of your payment.

   Service price$30.00

   Commission (10%)−$3.00

   Expected payout$27.00

   As a Super Mentor (5% commission)$28.50

   Payment statuses on your dashboard: Awaiting completion confirmation → Under administrator review (only if needed) → Payout initiated. The mentee's 10% platform fee is added on top of your price, not taken from it. You manage your own tax.

   Step 6

   Optional: community activity and recognition

   If you want to, you can offer $0 sessions, write guides or answer students' questions as part of your career development. Verified unpaid activity builds your contribution profile, which you can share on your CV or LinkedIn. It is always optional, and it is kept separate from your paid mentoring.

   Super Mentor status is awarded by our team for quality, reliability and peer support. There is no hours quota.

   Paid mentoring - your bookings and earnings

   Unpaid contribution - verified before it counts

   Paid time is never also counted as unpaid time

   Awards and scholarships - published programmes, not guaranteed
