Change the world, life by life, through lived experience

We do not replace government-funded services — we prepare people to engage with them more effectively.

The Stickman Method works downstream from existing government-funded services, helping clients who struggle to engage, plan, or act. Delivered through three tailored program streams, it gives participants a practical booklet and personal roadmap to better navigate the services available upstream.

Some of the comments of people we have helped

  • Stepping out of my comfort zone was made easier due to the program. Understanding the importance of applying extra effort to diet, life goals and the science behind training gave me insight to my longevity in life and sporting endeavors. I left earlier than anticipated and currently work however miss the personalized side by side teaching support in life's skills and working out the system gave me.

    Kyle F.

  • The program taught me to be disciplined and responsible in life. It made me aware of the importance of washing up, hanging my clothes out, mowing the lawn and food prepping. The training system covered money budgeting, making better choices, and being responsible which I was lacking at the start.

  • he program made me realise what it's like to have a dream and what it means to achieve my goals and all I want to achieve. I built friendships and got the support of family which gave me opportunities for me and my future. I learnt how to become an adult and experience things most people wouldn't. Thanks

    Lionel J.

  • The program transformed my life in many aspects, not just footy. It helped me develop from a kid to an adult. It gave me a great opportunity to excel on and off the field. It taught me the importance of giving my best effort with school, my health and playing rugby league.

    Solomon T.

  • I was not expecting help to put together a plan. Was thinking you were going to ask why I have not got a job yest. The timelines made me realise how my habits effect my life and what steps I need to take.

    Warrick M.

  • I didn’t expect the personalised attention and assistance in figuring out my path forward. Its was more than just finding a job; it was about building the future through the stickman worksheet.

    Darren R.

  • The visual tools have helped me to make plans around my fortnight and daily goals. Will also start to sit around my strong support network as opposed to the ones who are bossing me around, thanks.

    Natasha B.

  • I never looked at it his way with the timelines and stickman. I know I have to get a job and grow up and with the tools I will start to implement my plan. Thanks for the program I look at things different.
