Victoria Outplacement & Career Transition
Progressional helps businesses effectively manage restructures and change in a way that looks after the people, no matter what their situation.
Why Victorian organisations choose Progressional
Handling career transition well is a leadership choice, not a compliance step. This is what that looks like in practice for Victorian teams.
Local market knowledge
A Melbourne-based team who understand Victoria's employment market and the sectors driving change in it, from professional services to not-for-profit and private equity portfolio companies.
Genuinely personalised coaching
One-to-one support, not a shared login to a job board.
Structured, outcome-focused programs
across four levels - Executive, Leaders & Professionals, Tailored Solutions, and Redeployment & Mobility.
Integrated wellbeing support
alongside practical career coaching - because a career transition is a personal one too.
Measurable outcomes
reported back to the organisation, not just the individual.
A partnership with HR and leadership
from planning through to program close, not a vendor handed a spreadsheet.

Redundancy in Victoria: what the law requires, and what good support looks like
Statutory redundancy pay and outplacement support are not the same thing — and confusing the two is one of the most common gaps we see in Victorian restructures.
What the Fair Work Act requires: Minimum redundancy pay ranges from four weeks (1–2 years' service) to sixteen weeks (9–10 years' service) under the National Employment Standards. It's a payment. It isn't support finding the next role.
Where Victoria differs: Victorian public sector employees sit under the Victorian Public Service Enterprise Agreement, which can offer more generous terms than the NES, with unresolved disputes able to go to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) rather than the Fair
Work Commission.
Outplacement sits alongside these entitlements as voluntary support — coaching, resume work, interview preparation and job-search strategy — that actually helps someone move into their next role.

FAQ — Common questions from Victorian HR teams
Most programs can begin within a few business days of a signed agreement. For larger group redundancies, we recommend engaging us before dates are announced, so briefing, drop-in support and manager coaching are ready on day one.
Yes. Programs range from one-to-one coaching for individual departures through to structured group programs for larger restructures, plus tailored solutions built around your timeline and headcount.
Typically six to twelve months, depending on program level and role seniority. Executive programs generally run longer, reflecting the length of a senior job search.
Yes. Executive and senior leadership transitions are handled discreetly, with coaching arranged away from the office where needed.
No. Redundancy pay is a statutory entitlement under the Fair Work Act. Outplacement is separate, voluntary support that helps someone actually move into their next role.
Yes. Programs run in person from our Melbourne office or virtually, so regional Victorian teams receive the same standard of support as CBD-based staff.
