Conference Bursary Applications
Bursary information for AYAC's 2011 national youth conference is now available! Applications are now being encouraged - so check it out.
The conference committee and our conference partners are offering bursary sponsorships to ensure that regional and remote youth sector workers, and those working in youth-led organisations that are under 25, or those working for small organisations with limited funding, are able to attend the conference.
This bursary program will ensure that this segment of the sector is adequately represented, and will encourage and empower workers to drive change in their respective communities.
There is more information on AYAC's Conference pages, including a conference program, speakers, MC and more!
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.
