Are you the partner of a current- or former-serving Defence member?
With unrealised dreams?
Seeking to pursue your personal/employment goals?
Wanting to feel connected to others?
Defence service life can be challenging. Resettling with each posting, managing changes in your career, setting up your life and your family’s life (again & again). It’s not always easy, yet there is opportunity.
That’s why we created the Cowork Coplay program.
So you can:
- Pursue what matters to you in a welcoming environment.
- Focus on your career and work opportunities.
- Find a tribe; network with others that ‘get’ you and can empathise with your pathway and Defence experience.
- Get targeted advice from experts and mentors about booming industries and good employers.
- Take advantage of on-site child care.
- Find out about local supports, including from government organisations.
