Josh Bailey started life rough, living with violence from his Step-Father, to being removed from custody, living in a family refuge centre and eventually being placed in the care of his Grandparents.

He also lived a life of service, from the 1st Commando Regiment, Air Marshalls, Protective Services, Australian Federal Police and the Australian Army.

His career with the Federal Police came to an end after a saga of administrative, legal and personal circumstances that resulted from an on duty car crash which left him with PTSD, and a fight against the organisation that was meant to have his back.

Josh now studies psychology and helps other people who also serve as he has, and provided guidance and perspective about the inherent struggles with service based organisations.
