How can a herd of horses help you in your healthcare career?

It's not a riddle, it's the basis of an innovative career pilot program: Stable Steps.

Stable Steps supported culturally and linguistically diverse women aged 45 and over who are interested in careers in healthcare, aged care, disability support and community services.

The program combined employability training with equine-assisted learning.

Delivered by EQ Leaders in partnership with APM Employment Services, Sarina Russo Job Access and Workforce Australia Western Melbourne Local Jobs Program, the program helped participants strengthen:

- communication
- emotional awareness
- leadership skills
- employment readiness

For many of the participants, English is their second or third language, making the focus on non-verbal communication an important part of the experience.

APM's Gary Ostwald, Leah Nischler and a few more of our team recently joined the participants and partners in Little River, Victoria to launch the Stable Steps Impact Report and celebrate the program's achievements. Check out the amazing shots Lizzy Jacobs Photography captured from the event.

Thank you to our partners, Emma Costin and the team at EQ Leaders, and everyone involved in delivering this program.

Most importantly, congratulations to the participants whose commitment and willingness to embrace new experiences have led to such positive outcomes.

Have you ever missed an opportunity because you didn’t want any help?

It’s ok to ask for help and accept offers when they come.

Zelko has reminded us of this through his success in overcoming a unique barrier to full-time employment.

When Zelko secured an opportunity with TrueBlue Traffic Management, he was ready to work.

What many people didn't see was the severe dental pain he was dealing with every day.

Despite the discomfort, he was determined to keep going and didn't want to rely on others for help.

When APM Employment Consultant Virg suggested assistance with treatment, Zelko was initially reluctant to accept help.

He wanted to solve the problem himself and continue pushing forward.

It was through conversations and building trust with Virg that Zelko eventually felt comfortable accepting help to reach his employment goals.

After treatment he went from casual work to a full-time role and is now thriving in a stable job with more confidence than ever.

We're proud to support people like Zelko as they overcome barriers, achieve their goals and build brighter futures through work.

Emma never stopped believing there was a job out there for her.

Her journey wasn't easy.

There were setbacks, disappointments and challenges along the way.

But Emma kept moving forward.

With support from APM Employment Services through Inclusive Employment Australia, Emma continued working towards her employment goals and refused to let obstacles stop her.

That determination paid off.

Today, Emma is employed with a local transportation company, enjoying greater confidence, financial stability and a brighter future.

"Sandy has been a rock for me through this whole process. Grateful for her support through this lengthy process."

Stories like Emma's remind us that with persistence, support and the right opportunity, great things can happen.

We're proud of everything Emma has achieved and excited to see what comes next.

"Most people listen to reply, not to understand."

It's a simple observation from APM Ambassador and Aussie Paralympic legend Ellie Cole, but it challenges the way many of us communicate.

In this video, Ellie shares one practical tip anyone can try immediately: wait five seconds before responding.

Those few seconds create space for people to finish their thoughts, feel heard, and share more of their perspective.

That's where real inclusion starts.

Not with a policy or a program, but with the everyday conversations we have with each other.

Give it a go.

You might be surprised by what you learn, and what others feel comfortable sharing.

When Alice joined APM's Transition to Work program, she wasn't sure what direction to take.

A five-day retail course helped her discover a passion for retail and gave her the confidence to keep learning. 📚

That first step led to something bigger.

✅ Certificate III in Retail completed

✅ New skills and confidence gained

✅ Enrolled in a Certificate III in Business (Customer Engagement)

Along the way, Alice worked closely with her APM support team to find a study approach that worked for her and stayed focused on achieving her goals. 💛

Today, she's continuing to build her skills and prepare for future opportunities.

We're proud to celebrate Alice's achievements and can't wait to see what she does next.

Five years out of work.

Living in a car.

Facing anxiety and uncertainty.

But Adam never gave up on moving forward.

Determined to find a positive path he came to APM Employment Services for support through the Workforce Australia program.

As well as a dedicated consultant Anna, who was there to listen and understand Adam's challenges, he found support to get stable accommodation.

From there he worked with Anna to rebuild his confidence and secure ongoing employment at a local service station.

Today, he continues to grow in his role, has a place to call home and is looking ahead to new opportunities.

Adam's experience is just one of many our teams see everyday, and we're thrilled to be able to share the positive achievements he has made.

Well done Adam!
