It far exceeded my expectations and I came away feeling inordinately grateful for such a supportive, thoughtful and helpful resource. The knowledge that I wasn’t alone in my challenges readjusting to moving “home” was not only reassuring, it was also empowering to know that its just a part of the process and that I simply needed to put my head down and keep on working at my networks and my own well being to ensure I “stay above the line”. I’ve already got coffees planned with fellow attendees in both Sydney and Melbourne and I’m putting my learnings into action. .– Rory

I found this a well balanced, timely, informative and very useful collection of sessions – covering a range of solutions to making the challenging transition from living overseas to returning home to Australia, especially from the point of view of recruitment, building your brand, managing expectations and building the mental resilience to keep going. By interacting with participants, it was comforting to know that I was not the only one facing these challenges. I highly recommend this program! Tim

This was most helpful in helping me getting my head together about moving back home. The information was most valuable and a really good choice for all the presenters! -Vivien

I found the Advance Talent Return program helpful in providing pertinent information to Australians planning to return from overseas. Having adept speakers advising on various topics helped challenge some ingrained ways of thinking & giving a realistic overview. – Harley

Thank you Advance Team! The Advance Talent Return Program is a truly unique and invaluable tool for all Australians planning to, or have already moved back to Australia, and seek to re-connect with fellow returned Australians as well as re-establish into the community after being abroad for some time. This is a highly recommended program for any Australian moving back. – Ben

A terrific program to meet other returnees in the same boat, learn from others who have experienced the same situation and hear from experts on what lies ahead. – Anna

The program was a great way for me to confirm my own checklist and process for preparing a return home covered all the bases; it also made me aware of several other great resources I had not previously come across. And quite unexpectedly, I have the beginnings of a fledgling network from amongst those who joined my program cohort. It’s reassuring to know others are facing the same home-coming hurdles! – Jo
