Today the Minister for Youth the Hon Dr Anne Aly MP launched the Office for Youth’s new Youth Engagement Strategy.  

The Youth Engagement Strategy, Engage!, is the government’s vision to ensure that young Australians have opportunity to be included in government decision making. 

The strategy sets out three priority areas for youth engagement with government: 

  1. We will recognise and listen to young people.  
  2. We will empower young people to advocate and engage with government. 
  3. We will support government to work with young people.

To develop this strategy, the Office for Youth engaged with over 4,600 young people across the country, consulting with them about the issues that matter to them, and how they want to hear from and work with government.  

The strategy forms part of the government’s Youth Engagement Model, an investment of over $10 million in the youth space.
