The State Government is developing South Australia’s Youth Action Plan 2023-2026 to improve access to opportunities, resources and support for young people aged 12-25. They want to hear about the issues that are important to you and how they can better meet your needs.
The plan includes five key topic areas:
1. Physical health, and social and emotional wellbeing and mental health.
2. Safety and justice.
3. Education and employment.
4. Connections and access to resources.
5. Citizenship and participation.
Young people are invited to contribute to the plan by participating in a public consultation via YourSAy until 6 August 2023.
You can provide feedback about the proposed topic areas and potential actions, suggest other topic areas or actions, and raise any other issues you think are important to young South Australians.
The consultation provides a range of options for you to choose from including a survey, quick poll, submitting an idea or suggestion. You can pick one option or complete them all – it’s up to you!
All options allow you to remain anonymous, you don’t need to register, and there are no mandatory questions so questions can be skipped, reducing the amount of time required to complete activities.
We’re also doing our own consultation and we’d appreciate you answering any or all of our questions here. We’ll analyse the information provided and complete a written submission to the SA Government about the Youth Action Plan. We’ll also use your responses to inform our advocacy.
Your participation strengthens our ability to represent the interests of young people and to advocate with and for you to improve the quality of young people’s lives in South Australia.
Please contact Doug (doug@yacsa.com.au) with any queries about the SA Youth Action Plan, our consultation, or your membership.
