​The global consulting firm McKinsey identifies resilience (in its many forms) as one of the top priorities for many CEOs worldwide and “a vital muscle” for companies. And Forbes states that resilience is one of the most important factors in our ability to thrive and be successful.

  • The power of perspective

  • Practical ways to support optimism

  • Powerful grounding thoughts and reframing tactics

​Partnering with DFP was an incredibly positive experience. From the outset, they were proactive, professional and took the time to understand my background and career aspirations as a leader within the Mental Health sector. What truly impressed me was their insight into the healthcare sector and their strong connections with reputable employers, particularly within the Federal Government space. DFP not only helped me secure a role with long term potential but also provided a level of service that made the entire process stress free and rewarding. I highly recommend them to any clinician seeking meaningful and impactful work.

​DFP has been a reliable and professional partner in supporting our workforce needs. As a Federal Government agency delivering critical mental health services, it is essential that we have access to highly qualified, adaptable and dependable staff. DFP has consistently delivered on this requirement, providing us with highly suitable labour hire candidates who are not only clinically skilled but also aligned with the values required for our clients. They are responsive, reliable and we look forward to continuing our partnership.

Thanks to DFP, I have found a role that is a perfect match for my values and skills.
