There are numerous options available to support you regardless of what stage in your rehabilitation you are at. Transitioning officers generally require support in line with one of the following pathways:
Wellness
Individuals who remain quite symptomatic and require ongoing assistance in the form of treatment and support.

Career Development
Individuals who have a good idea about what they want to do next and just need some help with things like formalising qualifications, resume writing and applying for jobs.
We have worked hard to identify quality support services that are fit for purpose regardless of which pathway you feel you are on. Please take the time to review the information provided below and speak to your EML Case Manager for more information.
