Young people are important and have a valuable contribution to make in developing policy and services to ensure that they are more relevant and appropriate.
To feel valued in your community and have a greater sense of control in your life it is important to get involved and have your say.
The Government released it's youth strategy last year and one of the goals is to expand opportunities for young people to express their views on issues important to them.
One important way young people can get involved in their community and express their views is through the Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) program. We are committed to strengthening this program and want to hear the views of participants. We are also keen to hear your ideas as an member of the Minister's Youth Council (MYC) about the potential for MYC to be involved in a strengthened YAC program.
Please respond to the following questions about the YAC program.
