Beyond Job Placement

Outplacement and Career Transition

Support people through change, not just into their next role

Outplacement and career transition support helps employees navigate redundancy, redeployment, and organisational change with practical guidance and emotional support.

At Leapwell, our outplacement services are designed to support the full experience of change. We help individuals understand what’s happening, regain confidence, and move forward with clarity. This is not just about securing a new job. It’s about building a sustainable career path aligned to their goals and potential.

We partner with each employer, leadership team, and organisation across Australia, including Melbourne, Sydney and other major cities, to deliver career transition services that feel personal, supportive, and effective.

The basics

What is Outplacement Support?

How we work

A more human approach to outplacement

Workforce change can feel uncertain, personal, and overwhelming.
Outplacement should reflect that. Our approach combines career coaching, wellbeing support, and digital access through Leapwell+, giving employees access to the right tools, resources, and support when they need it. This includes:

  • One-on-one coaching sessions with experienced career coaches

  • Access to career development, planning, and career exploration

  • Support navigating the labour market and job market conditions across Australia

  • Ongoing assistance throughout the transition

We focus on helping people feel supported, understood, and engaged. The experience should feel steady and considered, not rushed.
