Purchase with Purpose

Purchase with Purpose exists to support and showcase businesses owned by former and serving first responders, connecting them with customers who want their purchasing choices to have a deeper impact. Every purchase becomes more than a transaction—it becomes a way to support resilience, recovery, and new beginnings for those who have dedicated their lives to serving our communities.

In the spotlight

Justyn Backhouse - Author

In Hidden Scars, former NSW police officer Justyn Backhouse shares an unflinching memoir of life on the front lines, revealing the harrowing experiences and unseen toll of a 25 year policing career. Diagnosed with PTSD in 2021, Justyn wrote this memoir during treatment - not only as a path to healing but as an honest exploration of the psychological scars that come with being a first responder.
