Bellator Fortitudinem is a finalist for the Small Business of the Year award!
This recognition underscores the impactful work our organisation does in supporting first responders and emergency service personnel.
Bellator Fortitudinem means Warrior Strength—and around here, that means showing up real, raw, and ready to stand beside our own.
We’re a community built by first responders, for first responders. No rank. No judgement. Just people who’ve walked through the fire and know what it means to carry heavy things—grief, trauma, guilt, burnout—and keep going anyway.
Founded by Nicholas White, a former NSW Police Officer with two decades on the frontline, Bellator was born from lived experience. We know what it’s like to show up to the worst day of someone’s life, then go home and try to sleep like nothing happened. We know what it’s like to be let down by the very systems that promised to have your back.
We’re here to change that.
This isn’t about ticking boxes or offering surface-level “self-care.”
It’s about honouring the warrior in every responder and creating the kind of backup we all deserved but rarely got.If you’ve worn the uniform, stood behind the badge, or carried the weight of someone else’s trauma—you belong here.
This is Bellator.
We’ve got you.

Bellator Fortitudinem App
The Bellator Fortitudenum app which is currently being constructed, will provide 24/7 emergency and crisis support for first responders in distress, with referrals to hospitals, emergency psychiatric facilities and licensed therapists at the hit of a button. The app will provide a list of service providers, referrals, medical and mental health practitioners and short-term accommodation. The app also offers counselling services as a 24/7 helpline dedicated to first responders.
