Delivering Career Transition Support for members of the Australian Defence Force
Defence is committed to ensuring members have access to the right support, at the right time, and in November 2019 contracted Right Management as the sole national provider of professional career coaching to members of the ADF and their partners.
Defence funds the career transition related services available to members and their families as they prepare to transition from the military and working with Right Management ensures that you receive consistent, high level of support and service to meet your needs.
With more than 40 years helping people find their vocational passion and purpose, Right Management is well placed to support transitioning members of the ADF. We are ever mindful that not everyone starts their transition in the same place, nor do all individuals have the same end goals.
Our approach provides flexibility and a focus on delivering meaningful outcomes based on your specific objectives, personal situation and circumstances, in other words, we tailor our approach to the unique requirements of every individual we support.
Career Success Model
Underpinning our Career Transition approach, regardless of transition support mode,
is our Right Management Career Success Model which has proven effectiveness.
It is a proven approach to career transition that helps you, regardless of your current role define your work goals and develop your own plan to take the next step in your career. It is completely tailored to your objectives and career goals.

help you identify your motivators, skills and career options. CTC will assist you to
develop an employment plan, develop interview skills, build a competitive resume,
learn effective job hunting skills and adjust to the civilian environment.
This coaching is modular, so your Transition Coach will work with you to build an individualised package to support your needs. Members who participate in CTC are provided with lifetime access to the online employment and training resources portal.
Career Transition Coaching offers ten modules that are tailored to individual members’ needs. We will tailor a curriculum to your needs that will include working closely with you to understand your work targets and career goals, creating a hiring plan, identifying target roles and organisations and career preferences.
Our team will also support you in connecting you with opportunities, approaching organisations on your behalf, researching and uncovering opportunities and providing feedback and consistent communication.
