Youth council applications open
Applications are open for the 2025 NSW Youth Advisory Council from young people aged 12 to 24 years.
Twelve young people from across NSW with diverse life experiences will be recruited for a one-year term to provide advice to the Minister for Youth Ms Rose Jackson and Advocate for Children and Young People Ms Zoe Robinson.
Ms Jackson said she affirmed the NSW Government's commitment to improving outcomes for young people throughout the state.
She said an essential part of this work was engaging with young advocates who were championing the needs of their community and generation.
"We know that listening to people with lived experiences and amplifying their voices is the best way to lead enduring change.
"The diverse members of the Youth Advisory Council will provide valuable advice to the NSW Government on matters that directly impact young people, while also sharing their inspiring vision for the future."
Ms Robinson said that it was important for young people to have their say on the policies and services that affect them.
"Being on the Youth Advisory Council gives young people a real opportunity to work with government to improve the lives of all young people in NSW," she said.
Applications can be completed online before Sunday, April 21.
