Transition is a process which your son/ daughter will go through leading to the transfer of their care to an adult health care provider. It is a co-ordinated process including all departments at RCH involved in your son/ daughter's care and is a gradual process starting with discussions in early adolescence and the transfer occurs around 18-19 years of age, once your son/daughter has completed secondary school. You and your son/daughter will be encouraged to participate in the process and your son/daughter will be supported in learning new skills of independence and self management of their own health care in preparation for the move to adult care.
