A great place to start is the Australian Parents Council's website. We have put together lots of information specifically aimed at parents that includes explanations, advice and links to other useful organisations.

• University guide for parents - includes advice for picking unis and courses, the application process, how to hedge your bets and alternative entry pathways that don't necessarily include an ATAR

• Vocational education and training - includes advice on how to find work-focussed education and training with your child, and includes lots of links to organisations and training providers.
  
  
• Career planning with your teen - includes advice on talking to your teen about their future direction

We also highly recommend that your teen visits Year13. It's a great independent website that heps kids transition out of school into a productive year 13.
