Children and young people are learning and developing
Budget 2019 provided funding for a new transition support service for eligible young people leaving State care or youth justice custody, to provide a more gradual and supported transition to adulthood, up to the age of 25. The service is relationship-based, and will support young people to prepare for transition, respond to their needs as they leave, and help them gain their independence. It will provide advice and assistance, after-hours support, and broker services and housing support.
Oranga Tamariki has partnered with 49 community and Iwi/Māori partners across Aotearoa to provide transition services.
