2025 was big, BUSY and full of impact 💥
This year, we grew into new communities and expanded internationally, all while keeping the focus where it belongs: supporting people with real pathways and practical help.
We saw students who didn’t think they’d finish Year 12… graduate.
We saw clients land meaningful work… and stay in it.
We saw apprentices feel supported in their communities.
We saw veterans access services built around what they actually need.
We opened new student spaces in Strathpine and Beenleigh, took the Get BUSY Roadshow across NSW and delivered education and employment services in New Zealand for the first time.
Hit play for the moments that shaped 2025. Bring on 2026 🙌
