"My job was part of who I am but I can't return due to injury"
Changing careers can be daunting, especially when it's unexpected and a particular role has formed part of a person’s identity. Our goal is to reduce stress and simplify the transition process by identifying transferable skills such as leadership, decision-making, resilience and communication to discover career pathways which provide a new sense of purpose.
"I’ve spent years navigating high-pressure situations, I need something stimulating"
Through career assessment, exploration and discovery, we identify a person’s strengths and RPL options, aligning them with their work motivations and personal passions to uncover exciting new public or private career opportunities that make a difference.
"This job is all I know, I wouldn't have a clue how to find another one"
Many individuals set their sights on joining the emergency services early in life, and for some, it’s the only job they’ve ever applied for. That’s why we offer practical, one-on-one support, including professionally written resumes, tailored cover letters, job search strategies and interview preparation.

Better outcomes through early intervention
Extended time away from work due to injury or uncertainty can significantly affect an individual’s wellbeing, often leading to employer resentment and a loss of purpose and direction.
Early intervention prepares individuals who are unlikely to return to operational duties with a 'plan B', often leading to better outcomes and helping employers reduce the risk of rising compensation costs and insurance premiums.
