DHS recently invited the community to share their ideas on the key issues affecting young people as we develop South Australia’s Youth Action Plan 2024-2027.
Consultation has now concluded and we thank everyone who took the time to share their views.
We had a fantastic response with 83% of the 880 respondents aged between 12 and 25, showing just how engaged young South Australians are in creating a better future.
Here are the key themes that young people and youth stakeholders said matter to them:
- Greater access to mental health support and services
- Connection to services and activities available in the young person’s community
- Increased access to age appropriate, affordable, and accessible sport and recreation activities or opportunities
- More support with post-school pathways, including the teaching of `life skills’ or `how to adult’
- Greater access to housing and rental accommodation
- Inclusion in decision making.
We look forward to sharing more information on the Youth Action Plan in the new year.
