Whizdom: 100% Australian Veteran-Owned and Operated
As a veteran-owned company, Whizdom has achieved the highest recognition as a Veteran Employer of Choice  with Gold level status from the Veteran Employment Commitment (VEC).

This recognition shows Whizdom’s dedication to supporting veterans through various activities and long-term support.

Whizdom is committed to helping veterans in their post-service employment journey. Hosting events, providing wellness support and offering opportunities for security cleared roles are some of the ways Whizdom assists veterans.

The focus is on veterans’ specialised and transferrable skills and experiences to ensure successful transitions from Defence to civilian careers.

This is backed by a long-standing commitment to practical, ongoing support, including:

• Access to security cleared opportunities
• Sponsorship of security clearances to support continuity of employment
• Career guidance and long term placement support
• Community events and wellbeing initiatives

"Leaving the security of the Defence Force can be both exciting and daunting, as I know firsthand being a former Navy member. My departure was some time ago, but the experience remains challenging. Fortunately, the ADF now offers great information and support that was not available to me back then." - John McCluskey, Managing Director of Whizdom.
