What does a Defence Support Mentor  do?

A DSM is like a Teacher's Aide, but they are employed through federal funding to help ADF families as they relocate to a new school and community. A DSM helps with the following:​​

  • Assisting the school to understand the needs of ADF parents and their families in relation to their child or children's education

  • Informing the school and supports families if ADF families are deployed

  • Helping families with special needs

  • Assisting students to plan work portfolios and academic records for the new school

  • Acting as a point of contact for all ADF families
