Bellator Fortitudinem is Latin for “Warrior Strength”—a name that reflects the resilience, courage, and compassion of those who serve on the frontline.

We are a peer-led organisation dedicated to supporting first responders and emergency service personnel during times of psychological distress, injury, and crisis. Our mission is to provide timely, trauma-informed care and community to those who spend their lives protecting others.

Founded by Nicholas White, a former NSW Police Officer with over 20 years of frontline experience, Bellator was born from lived experience. Nicholas and the Bellator team intimately understand the toll that repeated exposure to trauma can take. Every day, first responders encounter events that most people will never witness—accidents, violence, natural disasters, and tragedies. The cumulative impact of these experiences can lead to post-traumatic stress, moral injury, and profound emotional and physical exhaustion.

Bellator exists to ensure they are never left to face that alone.
