GreatFirstWeek — collecting stories about transitions into care, education, and support settings
GreatFirstWeek.com
Too many first days start with three hours of scrambling.
When someone moves into care, school, employment or support, the team is often piecing together who they are and what they need on the day they arrive — even though that information already existed somewhere. It was in a report, a plan, a phone call, or someone's head. It just never reached the people who needed it in time.
We are collecting stories of what that first week actually looks like — for the person arriving, and for the team responsible for them — across every transition setting. The survey takes about three minutes, and it helps us build something that fixes it.
Which best describes you?
I work in care, education, or support
Support worker, team leader, CEO, teacher, intake coordinator, discharge planner, job placement officer, or similar role.
I have lived experience of a transition
A person with disability, a family member, carer, or advocate sharing your own experience of moving into a new setting.
Before you start — how we handle what you share.
This work is led by UNPLEXi Pty Ltd (Dr Anna Moran). We collect responses to understand how transitions into care, education and support can be improved, so we can build something that helps. If you choose the lived-experience path, your response is anonymous — we do not ask for your name or contact details. We only use stories in anonymised form, with no identifying details, unless you give separate permission. You can ask us about how we handle information at any time by emailing anna@unplex.com.au. Full detail is in our privacy policy.

Thank you for sharing.
Your story matters. Every response helps build the evidence that transitions can be done better, for every person moving into a new setting.
