Kaleidoscope careers represent a flexible approach to balancing evolving life and work priorities, empowering individuals to shift focus as personal and professional circumstances change. Success is measured by fulfillment, well-being and flexibility. This model embraces adaptability and alignment with personal values, whether one seeks new challenges, work-life balance, or broader impact. Unlike a fixed career path, a kaleidoscope career can involve growth within a current role or transitions to new opportunities, all while adjusting to life's changing demands.

We explore this model though interviews with:

  • Joanne Gross, Senior Specialist Pharmacist, Quality Use of Medicines – Clinical Quality, Regulation and Accreditation.
  • Vanessa Bakker, Senior Psychologist - Launceston General Hospita;

Find more information about all of the career models we discuss in this series by visiting the Allied Health Workforce Development Framework SharePoint. There you’ll find practical advice for each model, as well as a quiz that can help you match your own career with one of the five models.
