This report investigates the practical implications and applications of the findings from our earlier literature review, Supporting Transition to School for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children: What it means and what works?

The report is based on consultations with twelve services across Australia who are delivering high-quality transition programs for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. The programs consulted are diverse, but share key strengths that demonstrate good practice principles and practices for transition programs for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. Together with the literature review, these provide a strong basis for exploring program models and concepts that are potentially adaptable for a variety of contexts.
