This paper examines two recent successful school-based health initiatives in Victoria, particularly in relation to factors that seem to foster program sustainability. These programs, dealing with drug education and healthy eating, are described before presenting two different methods (individual and group) used to determine elements that allow for the continuation of such projects. The findings on sustainability from each program are discussed using the broad areas of factors associated with the programs themselves; those associated with the context in which the programs were implemented; and finally, those factors external to the programs and their implementation contexts. These results indicate a strong congruence with factors identified in the literature but also highlight the influence of the use of change theory in strengthening sustainability approaches in program development as well as the need to focus on funding options in forward planning. The possible roles for evaluators in assisting program development and supporting the integration of factors supporting sustained use are also discussed
