This report provides an overview of legislation, policies and practices across each state and territory, in regards to supporting young people transitioning from out-of-home care. While regulations in most cases are explicit, this is not being translated into practice which assists young care leavers, with substantial numbers of young people surveyed lacking a leaving care plan, experiencing homelessness while transitioning from care, and struggling to complete high school.This report provides an overview of legislation, policies and practices across each state and territory, in regards to supporting young people transitioning from out-of-home care.
