Becoming an expert

How to apply to become an Export Ready expert, what the role involves, and what happens once you are approved.

Written by Hayden Zammit Meaney

Export Ready is always looking for experienced professionals to join our panel of mentors and consultants, and we welcome applications from a wide range of specialties.

As an expert, you deliver one on one sessions to Queensland tourism operators working towards becoming export ready. You might specialise in a particular international market, in trade distribution and partnerships, in pricing and commissions, in digital presence, or in another area of export capability. Operators are matched to you based on how well your experience fits their target markets and region, so your background is put to work where it is needed most.

If you would like to be considered, apply through the program website at queenslandacademy.com.au. Tell us about your areas of expertise, the international markets you know well, and your experience working with tourism or trade businesses.

Once you are approved, you will be set up with a mentor profile and delivery dashboard, and you can start receiving bookings. For more on how sessions, feedback and payment work, see the For Mentors and Consultants section of this help centre.
