About Us

The Illawarra Transition to School Program has been operating since 2005. It is funded by Families NSW, an initiative of the NSW Government, and managed by Illawarra Children's Services.

The Illawarra Transition to School Program is supported by the NSW Department of Education and Training, NSW Department of Community Services, South Eastern Sydney and Illawarra Area Health Service, Wollongong City Council and Shellharbour City Council to develop, establish and promote research-based best practices in transition to school programmes.

The Illawarra Transition to School Program works in close consultation with education experts. Our priorities include connecting with members of culturally and linguistically diverse communities, indigenous communities and those in the community whose children may not access prior to school services.
