About Us

Policy Advisory Group

The Policy Advisory Group (PAG) provides a mechanism for members who wish to be involved in the ongoing policy development and policy setting processes of the organisation.

The PAG provides a structured forum for members to actively shape the policy development of the organisation. The PAG comprises 6-15 members and, following an open call for nominations each year, is appointed by the Board following YACVic’s AGM.

The Terms of Reference for the PAG are revised each year and are available upon request.

A report on what the PAG has done over the past year is available in our latest Annual Report.

Marginalised Young People, Surveillance and Public Space

YACVic and the School of Political and Social Inquiry, Monash University were very pleased to have Dr. Helen Szoke, (Commissioner, Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission) launch a new research report ‘Marginalised Young People, Surveillance and Public Space’ on the 1st of September, 2010. The report examines young people’s perceptions of surveillance and security in inner city Melbourne.
In her speech, Dr Szoke commented:"When I read the report, I was struck by how sophisticated the analysis is, which is in effect what we need when we are dealing with complex issues, where we are trying to address systemic problems with linear instruments."
