Upcoming Constitutional Recognition Forum
The National Centre of Indigenous Excellence (NCIE) will be hosting a Constitutional Recognition Forum for young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians from the 14th-17th March. The organisation is currently calling for young Indigenous Australians from all around the nation to participate in this valuable experience.
The forum will provide a platform for people to learn more about Constitutional Recognition, to share ideas and to contribute to a youth driven campaign. If you are aged between 16 and 25 and identify as an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Australian then CLICK HERE for an application form.
Advocates for young and vulnerable Australians are optimistic after the federal government announced an increase of $4 a week to people on Newstart and Youth Allowance.
Executive Director of the Australian Youth Affairs Coalition, Andrew Cummings is campaigning for an increase for people on the lowest benefit schemes.
He said he was pleased that this year’s federal budget recognised that Newstart and Youth Allowance provide too little to live on.
