The BUSY Group - ADF Transition Support Services

Your Transition.
Your Next Chapter.

Every member of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and their family will go through the transition process at some stage of their career

Your story doesn’t end when the uniform comes off. In many ways, it’s just beginning.

When the time comes to explore life outside the ADF, The BUSY Group is here to steer you confidently along the path to transition. Whether you’re preparing for a new career, managing your recovery from illness or injury, planning to study, or looking for ways to meaningfully engage with your community, we’re ready with the expert support and guidance to make your transition a smooth one.

At The BUSY Group, we believe every Defence member and every family, deserves the opportunity to shape what comes next. Whether you’re starting fresh, rediscovering who you are, or building something new, this next chapter is yours to write.

And we’ve been helping Australians do just that for over 45 years.

With coaching, tools, and guidance grounded in real-world experience, we’ll support you to step forward with purpose, confidence, and a team who genuinely believes in your future.

To engage in any of the following transition support programs, please contact your local Joint Transition Authority, Transition Centre or email at: transition.support@defence.gov.au
