There are no dumb questions.

  • Our services aren’t separate silos; they flow into one another to create a self-sustaining ecosystem for the creative community. We offer three core pillars of support

    Mentorship & Training

    We bridge the gap between academia and the creative industry.

    • Curriculum Integration: We work with educators to guide course content and help prevent student disengagement.

    • Tailored Bookings: Our mentors are available for guest lectures, campus events, or semester-long partnerships.

    • Pathway Mapping: We provide students with real-world insights, confidence coaching, and industry-validated career mapping.

    🎙️The Podcast & Content Studio

    Our Abbotsford studio is the creative engine room where industry professionals and students collaborate.

    • Creative Currency: Our flagship documentary series and cultural archive that doubles as a hands-on training program.

    • Digital Content Creation: We offer affordable, industry-ready digital content and podcast packages for brands and creators.

    • Formal Placements: We facilitate Work Placement Agreements tailored to a student’s strengths and an employer’s needs.

    • Internships: Mentors often identify standout talent during our programs to offer direct internship or placement opportunities.

  • More than just a podcast, Creative Currency is a multi-platform documentary series and cultural archive. Co-produced with iconic filmmaker Tony Rogers, the project features candid, peer-to-peer interviews with Melbourne’s most influential creators. It serves as a permanent "wisdom bank" where students can learn from the epiphanies, struggles, and life lessons of world-class artists.

  • Yes. We connect educators with an extraordinary network of active leaders—filmmakers, designers, writers, and brand thinkers. Our mentors are chosen not just for their resumes, but for their genuine ability to engage, listen to, and inspire students at every level.

  • We understand that rising withdrawals and disengagement are major concerns for education leaders. We address this by bringing "the industry" into the classroom. By injecting real-world energy and professional insights into course content, we help students see a clear, exciting path forward, which naturally strengthens engagement and retention.

  • Our mentors bring decades of experience from the global stage. They have elevated campaigns for brands including:

    • Fashion & Lifestyle: Aesop, Country Road, Gorman, Myer, Ralph Lauren, Scanlan & Theodore, Vogue, Zimmermann.

    • Tech & Auto: BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Microsoft, PayPal, Sony, Toyota.

  • Does Triple Axel have a Diversity & Inclusion Policy?

    Inclusion is at our heart. We actively create pathways for Indigenous peoples, minority groups, those from low socio-economic backgrounds, and individuals navigating mental health or childcare responsibilities. Our goal is a creative industry that looks like the real world.

    Triple Axel Diversity & Inclusion Policy

    Triple Axel is committed to fostering an inclusive, accessible, and equitable creative and manufacturing ecosystem. Our policy applies across all areas of our organisation — including our team of Directors, Mentors and industry partners is designed to remove barriers, mitigate discriminatory practice and actively support participation from individuals of all backgrounds.

    At the core of this commitment is our Mentor Network. Each of our Mentors not only brings decades of industry expertise, but also actively integrates inclusive practices into their own businesses and enterprises. Their leadership ensures that Triple Axel programs are rooted in lived examples of equity, respect, and cultural awareness, creating a multiplier effect that benefits participants, educators, and the broader industry.

    Key Aspects of the Triple Axel Diversity & Inclusion Policy

    • Inclusive Environment: We strive to provide creative, educational, and professional spaces that are safe, accessible, and culturally respectful for all participants.

    • Equity and Opportunity: We use inclusive practices, scholarships, and targeted measures to support disadvantaged, minority, Indigenous, and low socio-economic groups, removing systemic barriers to success.

    • Protection from Discrimination: We are committed to preventing discrimination, harassment, bullying, and vilification based on race, gender, disability, sexuality, cultural identity, or socio-economic status.

    • Cultural Safety and Indigenous Recognition: We recognise and respect First Nations peoples, cultures, and knowledge systems, ensuring their contributions are valued and represented across our programs.

    • Holistic Approach: Our model addresses the interconnected nature of identity, embracing gender equity, cultural and linguistic diversity, neurodivergence, disability inclusion, and socio-economic representation.

    • Mentorship in Practice: Our Mentors lead by example, embedding inclusivity in their own enterprises and transferring these practices to the next generation of creatives and entrepreneurs.

    • Continuous Improvement: We are committed to using evaluation, evidence, and feedback loops to strengthen our policies, measure impact, and ensure lasting change.

    Application

    This policy applies to all areas of Triple Axel — including our Founders, Directors, staff, Mentors, talent, partners, and participants — and underpins every activity we deliver. Our aim is to foster a community where diverse voices are not only welcomed, but actively empowered to thrive.Why This Matters
