Council members come from all over the state and are broadly representative of the diversity of young people living in NSW in terms of gender, Aboriginality, and cultural and linguistic background.

The Youth Advisory Council is one of the most effective ways for young people to be involved in government decision making.

The council makes an important contribution to the NSW government’s work and the way it delivers services for young people in NSW.

The 12-member council provides a direct avenue of communication between young people and the government.

Young people with experience in youth and community organisations or who have particular life experience that would further enrich policy conversations are encouraged to apply.

Information and application forms for membership of the Youth Advisory Council are available on the Advocate’s website at www.acyp.nsw.gov.au, from the Advocate by email, acyp@acyp.nsw.gov.au, or by phoning 9286 7231. 

Applications close at 5pm Monday, August 31.
