About Us
Responding with Resilience
Fortem leads Australia in delivering support to first responders and their families.
We focus on early-intervention - nurturing resilience to boost mental fitness in the face of tough conditions. That way, our first responders become bendable, not breakable.
Our organisation remains independent, even while working with first responder agencies and other valued partners to drive improvement across the sector. By staying true to those we serve, first responders can engage our services with full confidence.
Because when we support the people who keep our communities safer, we support every Australian.
What we do

Our wellbeing activities are designed to nurture resilience by engaging individuals and their social networks to proactively look after their health and seek support when they need it.
