Life on a station can have many ups and downs, and sometimes can feel very isolating. It's a great lifestyle and has so much potential to be a future career for many however, sometimes the tough times are just too tough. It's great to be able to talk to someone outside the work environment although it's hard when they may not understand

The idea of The Kelpie Concept is to have experienced support there regardless of the situation. A faithful kelpie is listening ear as well as reliable help, the comfort of support whenever needed. I, Bebe Manns, the creator of The Kelpie Concept, live and work with my team of kelpies which I depend on every day to keep me company as well as help me with my day-to-day life. This is what inspired the name the Kelpie Concept.

Linking mentees with experienced mentors, giving them a chance to talk about anything they wish to, it can be work related or personal. It will be completely confidential.

About me: I started working on large cattle stations in 2011 and currently manage a property in NWQ. Over the last 14 years I have gone through many struggles, mental and physical and mostly alone. With over a decade of experience in stock camps and running stock camps I hope to offer genuine experienced advice whether it be work related or personal as well as just a listening ear with no judgement. My goal is to give back to an industry I love so much and to prevent employees feeling isolated and unable to see their purpose in the industry.
The essence of The Kelpie Concept lies in its commitment to fostering meaningful connections within the agriculture sector. This confidential service operates outside normal working hours, ensuring accessibility to all participants. The process begins with the mentee reaching out to Bebe for an initial conversation. Through this interaction, Bebe carefully assesses the needs and aspirations of the mentee and matches them with an appropriate mentor.
Once a suitable mentor is identified, Bebe schedules a phone call between the mentor and mentee. These calls can last up to an hour, offering ample time for in-depth discussions and advice. The program is entirely free of charge, reflecting Bebe's dedication to removing barriers and providing valuable support to young people.
Following the initial call, Bebe follows up with both parties to ensure a positive and productive match. If the mentor and mentee are satisfied with their pairing, they are welcome to schedule further chats to continue their mentorship journey.
The Kelpie Concept is committed to providing a confidential and supportive mentorship service. We are not a mental health service provider. If you require professional mental health support, please contact a registered service, we can give provide options. In situations where concerns arise, we will refer mentees to appropriate mental health services or other relevant health services to ensure their safety and well-being.
Your personal information will be kept private and will not be shared with any third parties. However, we have an obligation to report any concerns related to the mental or physical health, safety, or the safety of others.
We love sharing our passion, so reach out for anything you need!
