What can we do?

In May 2022, a new Federal government was elected, and with it comes to the hope that there may be a renewed focus on the issues and challenges facing young people. There also comes the hope that this new government may be more open to listening to the lived experience and expertise of young people as well as those engaged with young people. However, we are still facing the long tail of the COVID pandemic and its impact. Combined with the nation’s economic challenges, there is still much to do.
