Real Stories. Real Success.
After two years of unemployment, I felt like I’d lost more than just a paycheck. My mental health was at an all-time low, and the financial strain was tearing my marriage apart. I couldn’t even find the energy or resources to play the sports I loved. I felt stuck.
Enrolling in C-HUB 52 changed everything. It wasn’t just a job-search program; they provided a whole-of-life approach. Through their mentoring, I wasn’t just ‘filling a role’—I was mentored into a completely new career that fit my life.
Two years later, I’m still going strong. My finances are stable, my marriage is healthier than ever, and my well-being has completely transformed. I’m back on the field with my sporting group, active in a local men’s group, and I continue to work with a counselor to stay on track. I attribute my success entirely to the C-HUB 52 return-to-work program—it didn’t just give me a job, it gave me my life back.
Damien- injured in the workplace.
As a single mum who had been unemployed for two years following a marriage breakdown, I felt completely overwhelmed. I was struggling to pay basic bills, my mental health was suffering, and I had become socially isolated. I wanted to provide for my children, but I didn’t know where to start.
Joining C-HUB 52 was the turning point. Their team didn’t just look at my resume; they looked at my life. Through their mentoring, I was guided into a rewarding new career that finally gave me financial security and, more importantly, a healthy work-life balance.
Today, 18 months later, I am stronger than ever. I’ve re-engaged with the world through an art group and a computer course, and I continue to prioritize my well-being with the support of a mental health professional. I can finally provide the life my children deserve. I attribute all of this to the C-HUB 52 return-to-work program—it gave me the tools to rebuild my confidence and my future.
Rebecca - Single mum
After being incarcerated for two years, I felt like the world had closed its doors on me. My criminal history made it nearly impossible to find a job, and without income or a sense of purpose, I was at high risk of reoffending. My mental health was declining, and I had completely pulled away from society.
Then I found C-HUB 52. Instead of seeing my past as a permanent barrier, they saw my potential. They used a reverse marketing strategy to advocate for me directly to employers, securing me a role that truly launched my rehabilitation.
One year later, I am a different person. I’m gainfully employed, seeing a mental health professional, and upskilling through a computer course to further my career. I’ve even found a new purpose speaking to vulnerable teenagers and school leavers in my community to help them avoid the path I took. I owe this confidence and my fresh start to the C-HUB 52 return-to-work program—they believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself.
Tyler- ex offender
Losing my job as a social worker after a difficult work conflict left my self-esteem in pieces. I was completely burnt out and the thought of returning to that field filled me with dread, yet I didn’t know how to transition into something else. I felt stuck, broke, and lost.
Everything shifted when I joined C-HUB 52. They listened to my need for a change and provided the specialized career guidance I needed to pivot. Instead of just sending out resumes, they reverse marketed my skills to an employer, securing me a role as a Trainee and Assessor—a career I truly enjoy.
The support didn’t stop at the job offer. Through C-HUB 52, I’ve been working with a financial manager, and 15 months later, I am nearing my goal of buying my first home. I’ve regained my confidence and my financial independence. I attribute all of my success to the C-HUB 52 return-to-work program for helping me see a future I didn’t think was possible.
