On 28 August 2023, the State Government invited young people and organisations to have their say and inform the development of a new Action Plan which aims to improve outcomes young people in Western Australia.
Young people account for almost 20 per cent of WA’s population, with 19 per cent living in regional WA.
That is 540, 290 people, representing a powerful and diverse voice across Western Australia’s population.
Their views and ideas are critical to shaping the Action Plan.
During the six month consultation process the State Government has heard from over 2,000 young people from all corners of the State (spanning from as far as Fitzroy Crossing to Albany).
Next steps
The Department of Communities, in partnership with over 18 key State Government agencies are considering the valuable findings from the consultation process which will inform the development of the new Action Plan. It is anticipated that the Action Plan will be launched in late 2024.
