Our Outplacement Services and programs provide support and assistance for employees who have been made redundant and/or who need assistance in making a career transition. As one of Australia’s leading outplacement providers, we have a wealth of experience across a variety of industries in both the public and private sectors in Western Australia. We have worked with employees at all levels including entry to mid-level staff, senior managers and executive level employees.
Our outplacement consultants will provide your employees with professional coaching and support, and up-to-date information on the current job market. They will provide counselling on how to best position themselves in the market, identify suitable job opportunities and present themselves effectively to employers.
We provide all our Outplacement Services via Zoom or Phone call consultation.
*Customised packages are available to suit your organisation’s budget and needs.
Below are our most popular outplacement programs.
This package is aimed at employees who are in a junior level role OR who have had a short tenure with the company (2 years or less). This program provides employees with tools and assistance to kick-start their career transition. It includes 2 x consultations with a Career Consultant via Zoom or Phone.
Entry to Mid-Level (suitable for people in non-management roles up to the mid-level tier)
Fee: $1300 including GST
Senior Level (suitable for people in senior roles, management roles and executive positions)
Fee: $1700 including GST
This package is aimed at employees who are in a mid-level role OR who have had a longer tenure with the company (3 to 5 years). This program provides employees with more intensive assistance to help them transition to a new role. It includes 3 x consultations with a Career Consultant via Zoom or Phone.
Entry to Mid-Level (suitable for people in non-management roles up to the mid-level tier)
Fee: $1950 including GST
Senior Level (suitable for people in senior roles, management roles and executive positions)
Fee: $2550 including GST
This package is aimed at employees who are in a senior-level role OR who have had a significant tenure with the company (over 5 years). Employees who have been with one company for a long period of time are unlikely to be up to speed with current hiring practices and therefore require more assistance in making a career transition. This package provides employees with the full range of services and includes 4 x consultations with a Career Consultant via Zoom or Phone.
Entry to Mid-Level (suitable for people in non-management roles up to the mid-level tier)

Hi Helen,
I wanted to let you know that I got the job at Company X. This is the one you helped me with and I wanted to thank you again for spending that valuable time with me, going through interview techniques and scenarios. Your help paid off as the interview went really well (that was a first for me!). I felt relaxed and confident and funnily enough I knew I had got the job before the interview ended. Two days later I was offered the position and have been in the role now for 4 months (and I'm very happy). Anyway, thank you once again for your help! I couldn't have done it without you.

Hi Katie,
I am so happy to inform you that my dream was fulfilled, after getting an offer of employment in the WA Public Sector. I would like to thank Kendal for the information she provided in the sessions and also in helping to build my confidence while facing the interview panel. Once again my sincere thanks to Kendal.
Rakesh, Perth
Hi Kendal,
I have just accepted a written offer from Company X and start next Monday. Very exciting! Thanks very much for the follow up and your fantastic support along the way. Your belief in me and your practical help with resume, interview tips, social media, etc. were just what I needed. The LinkedIn endorsements were the least I could do for you. All the best Kendal and I will stay in touch.

G'day Helen,
Just a quick one to let you know I had some success with my resume and picked up a full time plant operator position with Company X and will be able to start Cert. III in building and construction. The first thing the interviewer commented on was how professional my resume looked! I ended up applying for 5 jobs and have heard back from 4 about an interview. So thanks again for helping me out and I wish you all the best.
Nathan, Perth
Hi Kendal,
Thank you very much for your assistance and advice. It was useful to spend the time with you focussing just on me and my needs. It is something that I haven’t done for a long time, and made me realise how important it is to stop and reflect, not only on the job but on other areas of life.
PS, Perth
Hi Helen,
I got the job! The interview questions you had pre-prepared for me were spot on. I had this amazing boost of confidence because I knew that I was able to answer, quite concisely, all of their questions. Thanks to you I now have a very different future.
Sven, Perth
Hi Helen,
I wanted to let you know that I was successful with my recent interview and have been given the promotion I sought. In my feedback I was told that my interview was solid and well-presented and that they saw a vast improvement from the last time I applied, so thank you for your time and your assistance. It helped enormously!
Matthew, Perth
Hi Kendal,
I just got offered the job at company X. Thank you SO MUCH. 15 (or so) unsuccessful job interviews and then the first one after my session with you is successful. I have recommended you to a colleague.
Angela, Perth
Hi Kendal
I found our meeting very useful. Thank you! I knew I was missing something in my interviews. You’ve helped me to look at ways that I’ve engaged with stakeholders and then used my contacts to achieve outcomes. And as you’ve said I’ve got hundreds of examples and lots of stories but I need to keep them relevant to this position and I’ve definitely got an idea of how to do that now. I’ve got a lot of preparation to do, a lot of practise and then I’ve got to deliver. I’ve got this!!! I’ll let you know how it all goes. Thank you again.

You aced the interview, negotiated the job offer and now you’re a new employee. But now is not the time to relax and put your efforts on cruise control. While it’s the company’s job to help you settle in and learn about office culture, how successful you are in your new role is largely up to you. The first few months are critical and you need to put serious time into showing management they made a smart decision in hiring you. Here are 9 ways to quickly impress your boss and set your path to success. 1. Research before your first day: There are many things you’ll need to learn on the job, but some can be learned by reading and researching at home. Review the company’s website and any related media or other information about recent events. Do your homework, and your boss will be impressed when you can add value from day one. 2. Understand what’s expected of you: Building relationships with your superiors is important, but you should also spend time learning about what they expect from you. This can include the expectations listed in your job description, as well as informal expectations such as networking, helping others, and supporting the broader goals of the company. If you can help your boss achieve their goals, this will be a huge plus for you. Read more
Choosing the ‘right’ career is no easy task. You might be new to the workforce and unsure which path to take, or unhappy in your current role and looking for a new challenge. Wherever you’re at, when it’s time to make a choice about your career, it’s common to feel stuck. Here are our top tips on narrowing down your options and choosing a career that suits your personality, preferences and skills. What we do for work can be one of the most important decisions we make. Many of us will spend around a third of each day at work – and sometimes more – so finding a career that aligns with our values and preferences is important. If you’re not sure which direction you should take, or you want to feel more fulfilled in your job, read on for our tips on finding a career that suits you. Tip 1: Think about what excites and energises you. This is a great first step. We all want to like and enjoy our job. And while passion isn’t the only requirement for being content in your career, it will help you stay motivated and engaged, and keep you going through the tough times. But you may not feel that passionate about any specific career, or perhaps you’re interested in multiple areas and can’t decide on just one. So instead of focusing just on jobs, think about your personality and what you do (and don’t) enjoy doing. Even if you don’t know exactly what you want to do, you probably have an idea of what you like or dislike, work-wise, and this can help narrow down your options. Read more
Have you had an extended break from the workforce? Are you looking to return to full- or part-time work, but unsure where to start? The process can seem daunting after a long break – but it doesn’t have to be. Here’s how you can you achieve a smooth and successful transition back into work. Many people take a break from their career at some point, whether it’s to study, travel or start a family, or for health or other personal reasons. Whatever your reason for taking time out, returning to the workplace can feel daunting. In this article, we look at some first steps you can take to help make the transition back to work a positive experience. 1. Consider the type of work you’d like to do: Make a list of what you’re looking for when you go back to work. What type of position would you like? Do you want to return to what you were doing before or are you looking for a change? Do you want to work for a company with promotion opportunities, or would you prefer a job where you can go in, do your work and head home without having to worry about your team? The clearer you are about what you want, the easier it will be to find something suitable. Read more
While it is a generalisation, successful people are often fairly confident people – or can at least find self-confidence when they need it most. But there’s a fine line between confidence and arrogance, and people who aren’t naturally self-confident sometimes struggle with this. Building self-confidence doesn’t have to mean a complete personality overhaul – you can take some small, simple steps to become more self-assured, and this may help you achieve increased career success. Here are our top tips: 1. Push yourself: Getting outside your comfort zone is key to improving self-confidence. If you feel you could do your job with your eyes closed, it might be time to stretch yourself. You could do that in your current role by offering to help on a project where you’ll build new skills, or do something outside of work that challenges you while building professional skills. 2. Visualise success: Having a clear picture of what success means to you is important. Many experts will tell you that the first step to achieving a goal is to visualise yourself doing so. You could imagine yourself working in your dream job or behaving with more self-confidence in an area that’s important to you. Read more
