What We Do
Young and Wise
Youth should have a voice in politics at all levels of government.
Young and Wise group participant
Combining 117 reports
Covering 5 years of consultations
Including the voices of over 10,000+ children and young people
Young and Wise brings together insights from consultations with children and young people across Australia over the past five years.
This isn’t just surveys—it includes conversations, videos, artworks, and more. While not exhaustive, it’s the largest summary of its kind, capturing key themes from broad wellbeing consultations alongside reports focused on specific groups and issues.
Covering birth to 25 years, the full report is structured by age and the six wellbeing domains of The Nest, Australia’s national wellbeing framework. Here, we’ve distilled the key themes and practical actions stakeholders can take to help young Australians thrive.
Supported by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care, Young and Wise is a powerful resource for those committed to listening to and acting on what young people need for their holistic wellbeing, including how to be healthy.
