Hey there!

We’re the Compassionate Careers Project — a purpose-led social enterprise here to help you explore what matters, get curious about your future, and discover work that actually aligns with who you are and what you care about.

This isn’t your average career site. We’re not here to push you into a box or hand you a boring job list. Instead, we’re all about sparking curiosity, showing you what’s possible, and helping you connect your skills, strengths, and moral ambition with real-world opportunities to make a difference — for people, planet, and your future self.

We know the world of work is changing fast. You might have five careers in your lifetime — or fifteen. You might freelance, work remotely, start a social enterprise, or build something that’s never existed before.

The old “one job for life” idea? That’s yesterday’s news.

But here’s what isn’t changing: the world needs kind, clever, creative humans — like you — to step up and shape the future. That’s where you come in.

What you’ll find here:

We’ve created eight different ways for you to explore compassionate careers — at your own pace, in your own way:

• 10 Career Categories – Discover roles in areas like climate, animal welfare, human rights, and ethical business

• Meet the Change Makers – Watch interviews and webinars with young people and professionals making a difference

• 1:1 Mentoring – Book a session with a registered career practitioner for guidance that’s personal, thoughtful, and real

• Curio – Your AI Career Companion – Chat with our friendly AI and get tailored career ideas 24/7

• Self-Paced Courses – Reflect on your strengths, interests, and future goals — in your own time

• Career Education Events – A calendar of uni and TAFE open days, webinars, and other events to explore what’s out there

• Curriculum-Aligned Resources – Tools and lesson plans to support values-based career education

• Ethical Organisation Directory – Explore real workplaces and projects creating positive change

Whether you’re a student, an educator, a career changer — or just someone who wants to do meaningful work but isn’t sure where to start — you’re in the right place.

So take a look around. Explore what matters. And start imagining a future that fits you — and helps shape a better world.
