Transition & Community

The Uniform Comes Off.
Your Story Continues.

You led teams in conditions most civilians will never face. That experience is extraordinary. Civilian employers just don't always know how to read it — yet.

Leaving the ADF is one of the biggest transitions any person will make, and most people do it without a single real briefing on what comes next. The "new silence" — no chain of command, no automatic identity, no team to fall back on — is real, and it hits hard.

LB is building something for you. Right now, we're translating what your service actually means into the language civilian employers understand — and we're doing it free. Because you've earned a good life on the outside, and we want to help you claim it.

Your Military Experience, Translated.

A civilian HR manager sees a rank. We see something completely different.

We're training a specialist team and building an AI-powered CV translation tool that truly understands what ADF service means — and how to reframe it in the language employers recognise, respect, and hire for. Always free for LB members.

What We Translate

✦

Rank & Role

Every rank carries leadership, responsibility, and accountability. We make sure employers understand that.

✦

Qualifications & Trades

Military trades and qualifications mapped to civilian equivalents — so nothing is left on the table.

✦

Operations & Deployments

What you did on deployment doesn't have to stay classified in civilian language — we find the right words.

✦

Soft Skills That Employers Pay For

Composure under pressure. Decision-making without a playbook. Leading people who are tired and stressed. These are rare — and valuable.

"You didn't just serve. You developed skills that most graduates spend years trying to fake. Let us show employers what you've actually got."

Coming Soon · Veteran Peer Network

"Being heard is just a phone call away."

Sometimes civilian life is too quiet. You miss the banter, the shared understanding, the people who just get it without a three-paragraph explanation.

We're finalising a partnership with Brother to Brother to provide a direct line to mates who've walked this exact path. Veteran peer support — built by people who know what ADF transition anxiety actually feels like. Not a helpline staffed by people who've never left base.

You don't have to navigate the new silence alone.

ADF Transition Anxiety

The Weight of the New Silence.

"In the service, you always knew your standing. In civilian life, the hardest shift isn't finding a job — it's managing the sudden absence of a direction structure."

Deciding "what's next" can feel overwhelming when no one is giving direction. The silence where orders used to be is one of the strangest things veterans describe about civilian life — and it's rarely talked about.

At LB, we clear the noise. By taking the administrative weight of your claims, finances, and documentation off your shoulders, we give you back the mental space to focus on the only decisions that matter: yours.

Military to civilian life transition doesn't mean starting from zero. It means taking everything you built — and building something new with it. We're here for that whole journey.

For Partners & Families

You've Held Things Together Too.

The entitlements don't disappear when a veteran passes. DVA and CSC benefits — death payments, dependant pensions, ongoing support — exist specifically for the people who stood by them.

But knowing they exist and actually claiming them are two very different things. The paperwork is designed for people who already know the system. Most families don't — and they shouldn't have to.

If you're reaching out on behalf of someone you love — or someone you've lost — you're in the right place. We handle the process so you can focus on what matters.

DVA

Death benefit & dependant pension

For partners and children of veterans who have passed. Ongoing income support and lump sum entitlements.

CSC

Dependant claim & reversionary pension

CSC super benefits don't pass automatically. The evidence process starts here, and it matters to get it right.
