  • Bradley’s Story: Finding Support, Staying Grounded

    Bradley* has lived a life full of experiences, challenges and reinvention. Growing up in Melbourne’s northern suburbs, he left school early and admits he spent some of his younger years making poor decisions. Everything changed when he completed a trade apprenticeship and later joined the prison service, working at Pentridge Prison for more than a decade. “That job got me out of all the bad stuff,” Bradley reflects. “It gave me structure and purpose.” Throughout his career, Bradley worked across a wide range of industries, including corrections, manufacturing, pet care, retail and small business ownership.
