Transition to Work Program
Being a young carer often means putting others first, and that can make study or work feel out of reach.
Funded by the Australian Government, Transition to Work is an intensive 18-month program designed to help young people aged 15 to 24, including carers:
- get a job (including apprenticeships and traineeships)
- connect with education or training
- build practical skills and confidence
- access local community services.
The program can fit around caring responsibilities.
