mate to mate at 8 | Cameron Hardiman - author and former police officer

In the fourth of our mate to mate at 8 series (Tuesday 5th May) Turts caught up with former Victorian Police Force member, and author Cameron Hardiman.

Cameron joined the Victoria Police at age eighteen and served over 34 years in policing. Most of his time with Victoria Police was as an air observer with the Police Air Wing. He eventually joined the Australian Federal Police and served on overseas missions that included the Solomon Islands and Timor Leste. He then transferred into an investigations role, focusing first on general crime, then people smuggling operations and counter terrorism.

Cameron and Turts spoke about Cameron’s battle with PTSD as a result of his time in the force, his book and what he’s doing now to bring awareness to people living with PTSD.
