Fortem is Australia’s leading not-for-profit organisation delivering support to first responders and their families.
First responders protect and care for our communities. The work they do is vitally important, and is also often confronting, traumatic, and dangerous. This leads to higher rates of psychological distress and mental health conditions in the first responder community as well as spillover stress suffered by first responders’ families.
We provide an integrated range of confidential services tailored to each first responder and their family to promote resilience and to transform struggle into strength.
