Your goals matter. You matter.

Have you been feeling like it’s time to bring your own aspirations back into focus? When life is full of competing demands, it’s easy to lose sight of what you want — especially when you’re supporting others every day.

Launch: Starting out in a new location? Let's get you set up to launch into your new life!

Moving as a Defence partner can feel like starting over. A new place, new routines, and often your own goals get pushed to the side.

Adapt: Time to get in momentum or change direction?

Is it time to go after your goals? Are you wondering where to start or which organisations are out there to support you?

Just because you're the spouse of a current- or former-serving Australian Defence Force member doesn’t mean your goals should take a back seat.

This session is designed to give you clarity, direction and practical steps so you can get set up and move forward sooner. With over 50 years of combined Defence life experience, our team 'gets it' and wants to help.

You'll walk away with

Who to know to get set up in a new location for work
Where you can go for a boost to your wellbeing and to make friends
Our recommended roadmap to help you get into momentum (trust us, you'll want to refer back to this two-pager and share with your friends)
A clear sense of what matters to you right now.
A practical worksheet you can return to anytime.

You’re not alone

Martina is a Cowork Coplay program alumnus and Marketing Specialist with BBA in International Business and Logistics. Passionate about creative thinking, creating captivating content and highlighting amazing stories people can relate to. There are so many stories in the world that deserve to be told and noticed, so many great achievements that people need to hear about.
