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.
