More Than Resettlement
Resettlement helps you prepare to leave.
MATE helps you think about what comes next.
Leaving the Armed Forces is about more than finding your next job.
Your experience, capability, confidence, family, finances, lifestyle, purpose and ambitions can all shape what comes next.
GapMap MATE gives you space to understand the bigger picture before deciding where you want to go.
Understand your capability
Recognise what your service has given you — including capability that can be difficult to translate into civilian language.
Explore your direction
Consider different possibilities without being pushed towards a particular answer.
Understand what matters
Think about the practical and personal factors that could influence your next step.
Move when you're ready
Turn understanding into informed decisions and practical action at your own pace.
Transition is more than employment.
Meet Smudge
Your companion through the resettlment transition.
MATE doesn't begin by asking you to choose a career.
It begins by getting to know you.
Through a private, unhurried conversation, Smudge helps you reflect on your experience, recognise your capability, explore possible directions and work through what matters before deciding what comes next.
No judgement. No pressure. No rush.
Your Journey
Your resettlement has a timeline.
Your transition has a journey.
MATE builds an understanding with you over time. As your picture develops, it helps you explore directions, consider what matters, identify development needs and move towards action when you're ready.
You don't have to have everything figured out.
Whether you're preparing to leave service, actively going through resettlement or already finding your feet in civilian life, MATE gives you somewhere to work through what comes next.
More than resettlement. Support for the whole transition.
