About
Our foundation
At Aware Now, our foundation is built on a deep commitment to safety, community, and empowerment. We believe self-defence is not about fighting back — it’s about fostering awareness, reducing risk, and creating safer environments. In moments of high stress, our mission is to equip individuals with essential skills that transform uncertainty into proactive preparedness. Our programs help participants recognise threats early, respond with confidence, and protect themselves and others with clarity and composure.
We also recognise that modern workplaces present unique challenges. From frontline customer service to boardroom decision-making, employees are increasingly exposed to occupational violence, aggression, and psychosocial risks. That’s why we’ve tailored our training specifically for corporate environments. Facilitated by ex-senior Victoria Police Detectives, our programs integrate frontline expertise with corporate safety needs, providing practical strategies to prevent conflict, meet WorkSafe compliance obligations, and build a culture of vigilance and preparedness across every level of an organisation.

Aware Now has engaged expert training consultant Stuart Bateson, who brings a wealth of experience from his extensive career in policing and training. Together, we collaboratively design bespoke programs that empower your employees to recognise potential threats, defuse conflicts effectively, and maintain a safe and secure work environment. With Stuart's expertise, our training goes beyond theory, providing practical, actionable strategies tailored to your organisation's unique needs.
