Policy and projects

One of YACVic's main objectives is to develop a framework which integrates youth issues into social policy processes and to ensure that young people participate meaningfully in this process.

This means making sure that young peoples issues are heard by the government and the wider community. To do this we research issues that are relevant to young people in Victoria and then raise these issues in our submissions and discussion papers.

Often the Government releases discussion papers to consult the community about a variety of issues. In responding to these papers, YACVic consults with its members to ensure our submissions reflect the concerns of young people and those working with young people.

YACVic members are encouraged to become involved in this policy process. Members will be invited to participate in consultations organised by YACVic. Members can also be appointed to the Policy Advisory Group or to the Youth Reference Group which provide policy advice to the Board.
