What makes Women Back to Work different from other career coaching services?
Women Back to Work is Australia’s first and only program designed exclusively for women returning to the workforce after a career break. We’re not generic career coaches—we’re specialists in career re-entry. Our Reignite Method addresses the unique challenges you face: rebuilding confidence after time away, positioning your career break as an asset, and creating a career plan that fits your life now. Founded by Melissa Behrend, an HR professional with 20+ years of experience, WB2W combines expert guidance with a supportive community of women on the same journey.
The course includes lifetime access to our complete Reignite Method framework with step-by-step modules covering: rediscovering your professional strengths, updating your resume to showcase your value, confidently explaining your career break, navigating modern job search strategies, preparing for interviews, and creating a personalised career plan. You’ll also receive our downloadable Career Toolkit (templates, worksheets, and checklists), access to our private online community of women returning to work, and our premium career newsletter with ongoing tips and job market insights.

The course is designed to work around your life, not the other way around. Most women complete it in 4-6 weeks, but because you have lifetime access, you can work at your own pace. Each module is broken into manageable steps that fit between your responsibilities. Need to pause and come back later? No problem. This is your journey, on your timeline.

The course platform is simple and user-friendly, if you can check email, you can navigate this course. Everything is clearly organised and easy to access. Plus, our community is there to help if you have any questions. We’ve had women of all tech comfort levels succeed with this program.

Absolutely. Many women join us while they’re still in the “thinking about it” phase. The program helps you gain clarity on whether returning to work is right for you, what kind of work would fit your life, and what steps you’d need to take. There’s no pressure to jump into job applications immediately, this is about building confidence and exploring your options at your own pace.

That’s exactly who we work with. The length of your career break doesn’t determine your value or your ability to return successfully. In fact, many of our most successful members have been out for 10+ years. The Reignite Method is designed to help you see your break as part of your professional story, not a deficit. You’ve been building valuable skills during that time, we help you recognise and articulate them.

Yes! This is one of the most common challenges women face when returning to work, and the Reignite Method specifically addresses it. Through self-assessment exercises and strategic planning tools, you’ll reconnect with your strengths, identify your priorities, and explore career options that align with who you are now, not who you were before your break.
