Part of the Digital Solutions Program

Work one-on-one with a business mentor

Sit down with an experienced mentor who helps you make confident, practical decisions about what's next. As a Digital Solutions participant, you pay just $110 and the rest is subsidised by the Australian government.

Real support for business owners and founders

Running a business can be rewarding, and relentless. When every decision falls on your shoulders, it helps to have someone experienced in your corner.

Digital Solutions mentoring gives you practical, one-on-one support built around your business. It isn't generic coaching, it's real advice grounded in experience and focused on where you're headed.

How does it work?
  • Register and pay your $110
  • You'll be taken straight to booking to choose your first session time
  • Your first session is about getting to know you and your business goals, and mapping out a digital action plan
  • Across up to five hours of one-on-one sessions, you work through what matters most with your mentor
  • Your five hours run for three months from your first session
  • Who is it for?

    1:1 mentoring is available to businesses in the Digital Solutions Program. Your business may be eligible if you meet the following criteria:

    • For-profit and based in Victoria, South Australia or Tasmania
    • Registered with an active ABN
    • Running with fewer than 20 staff

    Not registered? It takes 2 minutes here.

    If cost is a barrier, get in touch before booking.

    The $110 package is available once per business. Your five hours are yours to use over three months, so it's worth thinking about what you most want out of them before you start. Your mentor will also help you work it out in your initial session.

    What can I get help with?

    Bring whatever's most pressing. Your sessions are shaped around your goals, so no two look the same. Mentoring often covers:

    • Growth and finding more customers
    • Pricing, offers and revenue
    • Systems, operations and getting your time back
    • Planning what comes next
    Can I choose my own mentor?

    We match you with the mentor best suited to what you want to work on. When you book, you'll tell us what you'd like help with, and we'll pair you with the mentor whose expertise fits your goals.

    Not sure where to start? Choose "Help me work out where to start" when you book. Your mentor will help you set your priorities in your first session.

    How long do I have to use my sessions?

    Your five hours run for three months from your first session.

    Most people space their sessions two to three weeks apart, which gives you time to act on what you covered before the next one.

    If your circumstances change during the three months, let your mentor know as early as you can.

    What happens after my five hours?

    The $110 package is subsidised through the Digital Solutions Program and is available once per business, so it's one round of five hours rather than something you renew.

    Most people don't stop there. You'll keep getting our free webinars, workshops and resources, and if you want to keep working one-on-one, we offer mentoring outside the program. Talk to your mentor in your final session and they'll walk you through what's available.


    Trouble with payment, or is the $110 a barrier for your business? Email us and we'll sort it out.

    “The Digital Solutions Program has been invaluable for me, and helped me finally get my Instagram and Facebook Shop live, as well as understand how these digital streams work - and how to make them work for me. Without participating in the first round of mentoring, I would not be where I am today with a +$165,000 increase in revenue.”
