Mental Health Support
We know that for many first line responders - especially those working remotely - access to mental health support can be limited and difficult to find. Moreover, WHY does accessing support always seems to be tied to a traumatic incident? Why can’t you just de-brief with someone you trust, when you want, confidentially? What ABOUT TELEHEALTH with an Australian trained and registered Psychologist? That’s our model and why we have established one of the most progressive national mental health platforms in Australia, providing members with access to 203 registered psychologists and a Telehealth service few can match.
One of our Psychology partners is already approved by the Department of Defence and St Johns Ambulance
Advocacy
We don’t become first line responders to get caught up in politics or constantly be asked to join a rally to secure fair wages and conditions. We become first line responders to support the community and be valued when doing so.
We’ve been lobbying at the highest State and Federal Government levels securing outcomes for clients for over 20 years. We know how to go about it. So why are we different:
We’re not part of the ‘machine’. We sit outside the relevant service and independently represent our members.
We focus on the subject, policy or issue, not the person. Hence we work with all sides of politics.
We have our own trained public policy specialists who specialise in political strategy, public policy analysis, media and PR.
We DO NOT and NEVER will ask our members to rally, hold signs or deliver some lame political stunt. Kicking and screaming is not our style. Holding Government professionally accountable is and that’s how you win long-term.
Lastly, we don’t waste hundreds of thousands of dollars of members money on old-school glossy magazines. Social media is powerful; you reach a larger more targeted audience for next to nothing.
Legal Advice
Legal advice varies from seeking an opinion on an estate matter, through to a police officer needing representation when meeting with their internal investigation branch. Regardless of the request we’re here to support you.
The keys to our platform are pretty simple: engagement | compassion | affordability.
That is why we have partnered with firms who genuinely care about first line responders and value the roles you play within the community.
Executive / Career Support
Ideally we want to see first line responders happy in their roles and active in the community. But we appreciate a percentage have had enough and wish to explore a career change. We’ll support you through this process by either providing a mentoring / coaching service, helping you with your CV, or actively helping you start a business. At the end of the day, the FLRA platform is YOURS. So let us know how we can support you.
Trusted Small Business Support
We hand pick, by State, the best trades and small businesses to support our Members. From builders and electricians through to pool cleaners and your local cafe. If they are on our platform they care about first line responders. You can access them all via our membership page.

We’ve been lobbying at the highest level for over 20 years with other entities. We get policy. In this instance though, we prefer to stay really positive and leave the politics up to others. However, we do meet with Ministers and question why we have national awards for key professions and yet, first line responders are on this smorgasbord of varied pay levels and rates; where State Governments actively poach first line responders from other States with a $20k bonus? We believe that’s not cool.
We’d prefer this model: GO GRAB the highest paid first line responder in that field - in any jurisdiction - set the national award and pay everyone in that field at the highest level.
Why should cops in Tasmania be seen as the lowest paid? Why should nurses in WA always need to rally for pay rises and a fair go. It’s not right.
First line responders are the backbone of the community and we reckon it’s time for change! So YEAH. If our members wanted us to, we’d lobby damn hard for a more national, simpler and equitable approach.
Until then, we’ll stay unbelievably positive and continue to build and deliver the best service based platform in Australia.
