Welcome to the 2026 Sector Survey!
The Youth Educating Peers (YEP) Project, operating under the Youth Affairs Council of Western Australia (YACWA) and in partnership with WAAC, is a youth peer sexual health project. We deliver relationship and sexual health education for young people by young people and for youth workers by youth workers.
This survey is for youth workers and other professionals who work with young people e.g. teachers, nurses.
YEP conducts annual surveys. The aim of the survey is to assess the current context of SHBBV awareness and education in the WA youth sector.
About the survey:
YEP conducts annual surveys. The aim of the survey is to assess the current context of SHBBV awareness and education in the WA youth sector.
About the survey:
- Information gathered from this year's survey will be analysed to not only assess the current state of play, but will also be compared to the previous ten years data. This analysis will enable us to explore SHBBV issues and trends in the youth sector over the last ten years. As such, is incredibly important we hear from as many people in the sector as possible.
- We want to reach a large portion of the youth sector, so please forward this survey to co-workers and networks across Western Australia.
- This survey will take between 20-30 minutes (depending on how much feedback you wish to provide). Thank you for your time. When you complete this survey, you can request to go in the draw to win a $100 gift voucher.
- This survey defines young people as those aged 12-25. For the purposes of this survey, the term 'sexual health' includes a broad range of topics such as relationships, the prevention of STIs and blood-borne viruses, social and peer pressures, gender roles and norms, life-skills, pleasure, desire, love, self-worth, cultural influences, diverse sex, sexuality, and gender, the prevention of sexual assault and coercion, consent, risk-taking, sex within an alcohol and other drug context, and access to health services.
