Young and Wise captures five years of Australian children and young people’s insights, combining conversations, videos, and lived experiences to inform wellbeing policy, practice, and support aligned with The Nest.
The report explores key wellbeing themes from broad consultations and includes insights from specific groups and emerging issues. Structured by age, it covers birth to 25 years and aligns with Australia’s national wellbeing framework, The Nest.
It also provides practical recommendations for policymakers, educators, and organisations to strengthen young Australians’ wellbeing. Funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care, Young and Wise is an essential resource for those committed to understanding and acting on what children and young people need to thrive.
