What we provide

Career management

Whether you’re not enjoying the job as much as you used to, finding your day to day stressful or upsetting, or struggling to figure out what comes next, we’ve got the research-backed expertise to get you energised about your next step.

One-size doesn’t
fit all

Wherever you’ve worked, whatever has come your way, there is a future for you outside of your agency – our free and confidential career management services are specifically designed and tailored to support first responders/you in the next stage of your career and life.

Be your best at work

Our Career Resilience Program (where available in agency) gives first responders a range of support to increase career resilience, engagement, and wellbeing through:

• Tailored workshops
• Seminars
• Self-paced learning modules
• Wellbeing, education and lifestyle resources
• All underpinned by supported case management.

Life after first responder work

Our one-of-a-kind free Career Transition Program is tailored to your needs, to support an exit from first responder work with dignity, confidence and optimism including:

• Identifying your transferrable skills
• Job seeking
• Resume and job applications
• Networking
• Interview coaching
• Assistance to transition into retirement.

We will also support your family through this important transition.

“I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible impact you’ve had on my life and career. When I first approached Fortem, I was drowning … I was provided with invaluable insights and guidance…(the Career Management Specialist) took the time to explain all the services Fortem had to offer and the extensive support available … you have not only reaffirmed my value within the community but, more importantly, you have restored my belief in my own worth as a human-being.”
