Young and Wise is a comprehensive resource capturing insights from children and young people across Australia over the past five years. More than just surveys, it features conversations, videos, artworks, and lived experiences, making it the most extensive summary of its kind. The report explores key wellbeing themes from broad consultations, alongside insights from specific groups and issues.
Structured by age and aligned with The Nest, Australia’s national wellbeing framework, the report covers birth to 25 years. It highlights major themes and provides practical recommendations for policymakers, educators, and organisations to support young Australians’ wellbeing.
Funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care, Young and Wise is an essential tool for those committed to understanding and acting on what young people need to live healthy, fulfilling lives.
