Transition to adult health care for health professionals

Moving to adult health services: It's a team effort

Whether you work in paediatric or adult health, the way we support young people aged 16–25 with chronic conditions plays a critical role in their long-term health and engagement with services. 

Adolescence is a key period when young people begin to take greater responsibility for their own healthcare. The support, information and systems in place at this stage can have lasting impacts on health outcomes, independence and confidence. 

This section of the website brings together resources, guidance and tools to help strengthen your processes, practices and policies in adolescent and transition care. 

By working together across services, we can ensure young people receive coordinated, developmentally appropriate care—and the support they need to thrive into adulthood.
