Part of a broad range of programs and
activities funded by the State Government is the
Transition/Vocational Training or ATLAS Program. This is intended for school leavers to provide
community integration and vocational training for their transition into adult
life.

Road, Dural, provides this service. It

transition from school to adult life through community access,
