Career clarity, confidence and direction
- for Defence families, job seekers
and career changers
As a nationally award-winning career specialist, I support Defence partners,
serving members, veterans, students, job seekers, career changers, and
return-to-work parents to gain clarity, rebuild confidence and move forward with direction.
Warm guidance. Strategic clarity. Real progress.
Career services designed for real life.
Not just a single job application.
Life shifts. Careers change. Confidence rises and dips.
Whether you’re navigating Defence life, career transitions, study pathways, job seeking,
or rebuilding identity after a move or break, you don’t need more generic career advice.
You don’t need another online course.
​
You need clarity, confidence, and professional support that adapts with you.
Combined with APS and mining recruitment experience, I provide warm, grounded, strategic guidance - paired with done-for-you documents and practical next steps.
Simple. Supportive. Stress-free.

What makes Sorted by Kath different
​Rebecca Hardin
PEAP Client
I wanted to go into a new tourism career over the last 2 and half years and got nothing. I managed to move states, score 4 interviews within 2 weeks, 1 which had given me a job! I'm so grateful she's put in this work to score me work in which I thought was impossible to reach! thank you!
Liz Holden
RSL Queensland Client
Kath was of massive help to me, thorough with wisdom in creating resumes and cover letters as I was able to secure a job in one of the government schools in Queensland. I am so grateful of her diligence and dedication to her job and I can not recommend her enough as she is very knowledgeable and knows the perfect words to use in the Resumes or Cover Letters
Jacki Flynn
Transitioning Defence Member
Kath, I am so grateful for the help you provided in writing my resume. After 26 years of service in Defence, it had been a long time since I had needed to have a resume. I had no idea where to start. Your process is very simple and easy to understand. Thanks to you I have been successful in gaining employment and am very happy. I have mentioned you to others already and will not hesitate to forward them your details.
