Second Chance Stories

No scripts. No spin. Just stories from people who took the leap.

“Second Chance Academy assisted me in writing a university scholarship application by commenting on more appropriate and professional ways I could reword certain parts of my application. They made it easy for me to understand and their assistance and guidance was amazing. I would definitely go ask again when needed. 5/5 stars!”

Billi Williams (Ballarat, VIC)

“Second Chance Academy helped me construct my first ever uni essay where I lacked direction of how to structure all of the information I had collected into what was required. They helped explain the different layouts and eliminate repeating myself, including unnecessary information while presenting it in a professional way. They explained everything very clearly and really helped give a template for all my future essays that I could then use which was amazing!”

Darby Hamilton (Geelong, VIC)

“Second Chance Academy helped me improve my writing skills, and pushed me to write in more detail. They encouraged me to be clear and helped me write things for work and university that I feel really proud of. I would definitely recommend working with these guys!”

Charles Thompson (Devonport, Tasmania)

Stuck in a job you hate—just to pay the bills and get through the week?

Dragging yourself through a life that’s slowly wearing you down?

Imagine waking up excited for work. Landing a job that means something to you. Being part of a team where you’re valued, respected, and actually seen. Picture the laughter on smoko. The pat on the back after a solid day’s work. The kind of pride that sticks with you long after you clock off. Imagine the stability. The peace of mind. The quiet confidence of knowing—you earned this.

Let’s be real—most of us have moments when we feel like we don’t have what it takes to create the life we truly want. Some of us aren’t even sure we deserve it.

Life can pile on mistakes and labels before we’re even old enough to know who we are or what we want. The world has a way of sticking us with names that weigh us down. High school dropout. Failure. Lost cause. We hear it enough that we start to believe it. But what if the world is wrong? What if the only thing standing between you and the life you’ve been dreaming of… is a few simple, powerful skills?
