Life on the move doesn’t mean putting your career on hold. 

As a Veteran Partner, I have experienced the challenges of settling into a new role and new city first-hand. Trying to re-establish my career, understand how to position my move, and position myself for future roles where I might only be temporarily located.

Whether you’re transitioning to a new location, re-entering the workforce, or exploring a fresh path, Defence’s Partner Employment Assistance Program is an amazing resource to support you with your next steps. 

And, in 2025, the program was refreshed and is now available every financial year, not just per posting cycle for eligible partners. Check out the program here.

Eligible partners can claim up to $1500 through the PEAP program every financial to put towards services including career coaching.  

At Resumes by Lana, I’m here to support you in exploring flexible, remote, or portable career options, prepare for interviews with confidence, identify your strengths and career goals, and navigate job transitions before, during and after relocations. 

PEAP clients have successfully:

Secured transitions into Government roles upon moving from overseas post back to Australia. 

Secured salary increases of >$20K upon securing a new role in their new city. 

Secured multiple interviews for highly competitive roles at highly competitive government organisations. 

Moved to a new city while negotiating remote work arrangements with their employer, minimising disruption to their income and successfully seeking a new role without the added stress of needing to do this mid-move.
