Michael Willing APM - Former NSW Police Deputy Commissioner & CEO Fortem Australia

In this episode, I had the privilege of speaking with Mick Willing APM, a highly respected leader with over three decades of service in law enforcement. Mick dedicated 31 years to the NSW Police Force, rising through the ranks to become a Deputy Commissioner.

Throughout his distinguished career, he served in some of the most challenging and high-stakes areas of policing, including:

Homicide Squad

Drugs & Organised Crime

Counter Terrorism & Special Tactics Command

Mick shares his insights into some of the most high-profile cases in Australian history, including the Lindt Café Siege and various homicide investigations. His firsthand experiences provide a rare glimpse into the complexities of modern policing and crisis response.

Today, Mick continues his commitment to supporting Australia’s first responders as the CEO of Fortem Australia, a vital organisation dedicated to the wellbeing of those who serve our communities in critical roles.
