National Workplace Initiative

Career Transition Series

Many of us will experience career transitions in our lifetime - whether it is having a baby or a career change, managing a personal crisis, or retiring from the workforce altogether. As an employer or manager, it can be hard to know how best to support someone during these times of career transition.

The Career Transition Series provides workplaces with research-led and practical approaches. It shares the stories of organisations supporting their people through eight key transitions, highlights what has worked and relays lessons for others.

The series includes:

  • General principles
  • Entering the workforce and young workers
  • Learning to lead
  • Parenting and caring
  • Redundancy and career change
  • Health-related change
  • Relocation
  • Crises and career shocks
  • Late career and retirement

Developed by the National Mental Health Commission in partnership with Transitioning Well, the series was produced through the National Workplace Initiative after research and consultation highlighted the need for guidance on supporting career transitions.

The Commission is committed to embracing diversity and eliminating all forms of discrimination in the provision of health services. The Commission welcomes all people irrespective of ethnicity, lifestyle choice, faith, sexual orientation and gender identity.

Lived Experience

We acknowledge the individual and collective contributions of those with a lived and living experience of mental ill-health and suicide, and those who love, have loved and care for them. Each person’s journey is unique and a valued contribution to Australia’s commitment to mental health suicide prevention systems reform.
