No. Barayamal welcomes both First Nations mentors and trusted Allies. A trusted Ally is someone who has genuine, respectful experience supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities. All mentors are reviewed before being listed on the platform.

Once you connect with a mentor, you can message them to introduce yourself and discuss your goals. From there, you can schedule a video session at a time that suits you both. Sessions are flexible, informal, and led by what you need. There are no scripts, no strict agendas, just a conversation between two people walking together.
