The Code 9 Foundation - 2026 Partners Forum

We are putting on another partners forum. A forum with a range of topics aimed at better supporting the partners of our members.
About this Event

Are you the partner of a police officer, career firefighter, paramedic or Triple Zero Victoria operator? Join us for a dedicated, supportive forum designed specifically for you.

Being in a relationship with a first responder comes with unique rewards and significant challenges. This special event from the Code 9 Foundation provides practical information, expert guidance, and tools to help you navigate the pressures that come with supporting someone in emergency services.

What to Expect:

• Expert presentations on mortgages and financial advice tailored to the realities of first responder families;
• Insights from ESSS on relevant support and superannuation matters;
• Valuable information from the St John of God Hospital, Langmore Centre on PTSD, mental health injuries, and their impact on relationships and families as well as services and programs they run for partners;
• Practical strategies on the most important topic of all, how you can protect and prioritise your own wellbeing while supporting your loved one.

This is more than just information sessions, it’s a space to connect with others who truly understand your experiences, ask questions, and leave feeling better equipped and supported.

Whether you’re new to this journey or have been supporting a first responder for years, this forum will give you knowledge, resources, and strategies to strengthen both your own resilience and your relationship.
