Youth Advisory Groups

We run Youth Advisory Groups to support young people to connect with government. They work with Ministers and government agencies on policies and programs that affect young people.

The focus and membership of the groups change each year. There is always a First Nations specific Youth Advisory Group.

The members are 16 to 25 years old and represent all kinds of different backgrounds and experiences.
