Australian Youth Forum

Welcome to the
Australian Youth Forum

The Australian Youth Forum (AYF) is the Australian Government’s way to engage with young Australians. The AYF gives you the opportunity to have your ideas heard. The AYF encourages young people to get involved in ongoing public discussions and then uses your input in the development of public policy.

Have a say

Get involved and share your views and opinions about the issues that matter to you.

What's been said

We hear you

The online discussions you generate are fed back into the 'machinery of government' as the voices of young people. Here we post what has happened with your discussion.
