Who we are
Compassionate Careers Project: Compassionate Careers Project (“we”, “us”, “our”) provides purpose-led career-education content and tools, including career snapshots, an events calendar, an ethical organisations directory, and (in time) webinars, self-paced courses and the “Curio” helper. Some services may be free; others may be paid (e.g., 1:1 mentoring).
Accepting these terms
By accessing or using compassionatecareersproject.com (the “Site”) and our related services (the “Services”), you agree to these Terms & Conditions and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site/Services.
Who may use the Services
Our Site is for everyone, including young people under 18.
- Under-18s are welcome to browse and use our free educational content.
- Where an action involves sharing personal information, creating an account, or purchasing/booking a paid service (e.g., 1:1 mentoring), a parent/guardian’s involvement may be appropriate depending on your circumstances.
- Schools, parents/carers and educators may also use the Site to support young people.
What we do (and don’t) provide
All information is general in nature and educational only. It is not individual career advice, legal, medical, financial or psychological advice.
We do not guarantee that any particular career path, event, course or organisation is suitable for you. Please make your own enquiries and decisions.
AI-generated content & accuracy
Some content or responses (including “Curio”) may be AI-generated. AI can be incorrect or incomplete. You should verify important information with trusted sources. We may change, remove or correct content at any time.
Ethical Organisations Directory & external links
The directory lists third-party organisations and may include links to their websites. We do not own, operate or control those sites and we are not responsible for their content, policies, accuracy, availability, or practices.
Inclusion in the directory is not an endorsement or guarantee. Please assess suitability and safety yourself.
If you are an organisation, see Section 14 (Directory Participation).
Events Calendar & webinars/courses
Event details are provided in good faith but can change. Always check the organiser’s official page before attending or purchasing tickets.
For our own webinars/courses, we will provide session details and any applicable terms at the time of registration.
1:1 mentoring (if offered)
Mentoring is a general educational consultation—not therapeutic, legal, medical or financial advice.
Cancellations/Rescheduling: You may cancel or reschedule up to 24 hours before the appointment. Cancellations within 24 hours may be charged or forfeited.
No-shows: We may treat a no-show as a completed session.
Refunds: Where you are a consumer under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL), your statutory rights and guarantees apply and cannot be excluded.
