Defence Partner Support
Are you a Defence spouse/partner of a currently serving Australian Defence Force (ADF) member?
I am, too, and have been for 25 years.
As an ex-serving member myself — I understand firsthand the challenging and unique lifestyle we have, which sometimes employers, colleagues, friends and family don’t understand.
​
Moving every 18 months or three years, if you're lucky, changing jobs, and having difficulties finding work in your new location—a career that often takes second place with the need to find employment every posting round.
​
As a former recruiter, I know how to highlight the benefits of hiring a spouse/partner like yourself.
You are organised, adaptable, work well under pressure, and, most importantly, resilient. I am passionate about supporting my fellow Defence partners in confidently driving their careers forward.
I have partnered my employment services alongside Defence Member and Family Support (DMFS), which offers the Partner Employment Assistance Program (PEAP) funding initiatives. These amazing initiatives focus on assisting ADF partners with the difficulties of finding employment when relocated on posting or if their ADF member is medically transitioning.
​
Support under the professional employment services is for a maximum of $1,500 per posting.
​
You can apply at ANY time regardless of how long you’ve been in your current location—not just upon posting time! An eligible partner of ADF personnel can also apply when the member is relocated on posting or medically transitioning. And yes, this is at EACH and EVERY posting!
And it's free to use for approved ADF Partners.
​
I have assisted PEAP clients Australia-wide with their resumes, confidence, job application documents, and coaching. Nothing beats my PEAP clients obtaining employment prior to their upcoming posting, alleviating so much stress and time—one of the most rewarding parts of my business.
