Meet Brodie ❤️

Brodie is currently training as a support worker across the Aged Care and Disability sectors, gaining hands-on experience and exploring different workplaces as part of his studies.

During his styling session, Brodie connected with one of our volunteer stylists and walked away with what he proudly calls “awesome clothes.” He couldn’t be happier with his choices and feels confident and prepared for his upcoming placements and job interviews.

At Ready Set, we know that the right outfit can make all the difference. We empower jobseekers with clothing, coaching and connections to build confidence and create new opportunities.

Peter is 21 years old and exploring opportunities in nursing or infrastructure.

Before attending his FutureFIT session, Peter told us he wasn't confident putting together an outfit for an interview and had only a limited understanding of how to present himself professionally to someone he didn't know. Through FutureFIT, Peter received quality clothing that he really loved and felt proud to wear. He said that the clothing was of a high standard and that the session significantly increased his confidence in dressing appropriately and presenting himself for interviews.

The session also helped build his understanding of professional presentation, giving him practical skills he can take into future interviews and employment opportunities. Learn more about FutureFIT here > https://biggrouphug.org/futurefit/

FutureFIT is a collaboration between Big Group Hug and Ready Set Australia, helping young people build confidence and prepare for employment opportunities through professional styling and practical support.

The program operates from our Tarneit Hub, in a space proudly supported by Wyndham City Council. We would also like to thank Ford for their support of this important work, helping more young people feel prepared, confident, and ready to take the next step towards employment.

Steven is 21 years old and looking to build a career in warehousing. Like many young people entering the workforce, Steven knew that first impressions matter. Through his FutureFIT session, he received quality clothing that he felt proud to wear, along with personalised styling advice and practical tips to help him prepare for interviews.

Following the session, Steven told us that his confidence had increased when it came to dressing appropriately and presenting himself for interviews. He also felt he had a stronger understanding of how to present himself professionally and was pleased with the quality of the clothing he received.

Having the right outfit won't get you the job on its own, but feeling confident, prepared, and comfortable can make a huge difference when walking into an interview.

𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐍𝐨𝐰.

Homelessness is not always visible.

It can mean sleeping in a car, moving between temporary accommodation or staying somewhere unsafe because there is nowhere else to go.

Across Australia, housing pressures, financial hardship and family violence are leaving more people without a safe place to call home.
For those experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity, finding work can be an important step towards stability and independence. But without suitable clothing, confidence, job seeking skills or support, that step can feel out of reach.

At Ready Set, we help remove some of these barriers through 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.

We provide more than an interview outfit. We offer practical support, dignity and hope when people need it most.

The theme of Homelessness Week 2026 is 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐍𝐨𝐰 because awareness alone is not enough.

Action means investing in housing and essential services. It also means creating pathways to employment and ensuring people are seen for their potential, not defined by their circumstances.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to rebuild their confidence and create a more secure future.

At 20 years old, Dan isn't quite sure what career path he wants to pursue yet, but thanks to FutureFIT, he feels ready for whatever opportunity comes next.

Before attending his styling session, Dan felt he already had some understanding of how to prepare for interviews and present himself professionally. What he gained from FutureFIT was the confidence that comes from having quality clothing he genuinely loved wearing, along with personalised styling advice tailored to him.

Dan told us that the session helped him better understand how to dress and present himself for interviews and increased his confidence in his ability to make a positive first impression. He also shared that the FutureFIT stylist and team were really nice, which made the experience enjoyable and comfortable.
