Transition is about community
Sharing what we have learned
Transition is a movement you can join.
It is about communities coming together to address the big challenges we face by starting local.
One of the key features of Transition is also to inspire and support others.
Transition Australia was set up to allow Transition Groups in Australia to share connect and support each other.
To achieve this, there are a number of resources on this website.
