The Block 2025 winners, Britt and Taz, have revealed details of their major career change.
Just months after winning the show, the couple have stepped back as serving police officers in Newman and have moved back to Yanchep.
In an Instagram post, they confirmed that they have both signed on to brand new roles in Police Media for the Western Australia Police Force.
After years of shift work, their new roles are Monday to Friday, with Britt working part-time, allowing them to have more time with their children, Carter, four, and Myla, two.
“This new chapter means afternoons together, weekends off and more family time, which we’re incredibly grateful for,” they confirmed.
They have stepped back from their frontline work within the regional Newman community and will instead travel more broadly around regional WA.
“The role will take us across regional WA, visiting country stations and remote Aboriginal communities, speaking in schools and spending time with specialist units, while also allowing us to work on meaningful projects and create our own based around the things we’re most passionate about,” they explained.
In another major life change, they are also starting renovations on their family home in Yanchep, WA, which they built seven years ago.
They have rented out the home for the last few years, while living in Newman, but have now moved back into the property and plan to redesign it.
“While it’s already a beautiful home, it was built through a project builder and over time our style, lifestyle and needs have evolved. After being rented for the last few years, it’s also ready for some serious love,” they shared.
“We did think about selling and starting again, but the market is intense and more than anything, we want to live within our means, honour the memories already here, and shape this home into something that truly reflects us now.
“Renovations begin next month and will take around 8-12 months.”
They also own a holiday home in Broome, which they are also renovating before opening it as an Airbnb, when they are not staying there themselves.
“It will be a custom architectural build, thoughtfully designed for the harsh Kimberley environment, with completion hopefully around July-September next year,” they explained.
It is an exciting time for the couple, who confirmed that they would be moving out of Newman and leaving their jobs there in an Instagram post on December 20.
“Leaving is incredibly hard. We’re so sad to say goodbye to a place and people that have become such a huge part of our lives, but we’re endlessly grateful for everything this chapter has given us,” they shared at the time.
“We’ve been offered an incredible new opportunity within the police, which means it’s time for a new chapter.”
After pocketing $420,000 above the reserve and $100,000 for winning the show, the couple previously shared that they looked forward to returning to police work.
However, Taz also exclusively told New Idea that he hadn’t ruled out “working in the media” alongside his full-time job, with his new role seeming to be the middle ground he was looknig for.
“Countering that with, with policing as well is something that would, would come into, come into question as well,” he previously shared, denying rumours that he secured his own TV show.
“I love my job, I love being a police officer, and then working for communities as well.”
After they announced their move closer to Perth, their Block co-stars Emma and Ben urged them to move to Melbourne “to start a podcast with us”.
To this, the police officers replied, “say no more 😂👏”, so watch this space!
