The Albanese Government is continuing to work directly with young people on policies and programs that matter to them.

Today, Minister for Youth Dr Anne Aly appointed young people from across Australia to the Government’s 2025 Youth Advisory Groups.

The Groups will work across a range of topics including civic engagement, climate change, creative industries, employment, First Nations engagement, the prevention of gender-based violence and water policy.
