 "I had a phenomenal run on the show and leaving was a big decision to make but there comes a time when you know that it's finally right," he said at the time. Rather than pursue acting, however, Falzon decided to take an entirely different route with his career. He went on to train in healthcare, qualifying as a paramedic with St. John's Ambulance – a skill he later shared with the public in the 2014 Channel 9 docuseries Outback Paramedic. He also started an alternative rock band called Milk in 1997 with his brother, only to quit after releasing just one single, and had a short stint as an environmental Youtuber in 2008. Today, Falzon is the managing director of operations at Earth Sanctuary, an eco-tourism and astronomy business. The company, which was founded in 1999 and is located near Alice Springs, aims to promote positive solutions in sustainable living in the face of a worsening climate crisis.

Dan Falzon rose to fame playing Rick Alessi on the Australian soap Neighbours, but has since ditched showbiz for an entirely different career in environmentalism and adventure tourism
Dan Falzon has come a long way from his showbiz days, having once starred on the same Australian show that gave Barbie icon Margot Robbie her big break back in 2008.
The 50-year-old actor, best known for playing Rick Alessi on Neighbours in the mid 90s, looks completely different in 2023 from his heartthrob character on the long-running soap.
Falzon’s portrayal of the rebellious teenager earned him plenty of praise from viewers and critics alike, along with a snazzy nomination for Most Popular Actor at the 1st National Television Awards.
After three years bringing all the drama to the fictional suburb Erinsborough, Falzon left Neighbours in 1995.
