AYAC Media

AYAC is currently an unfunded organisation with limited capacity to consult with young people to see what they think of an issue or to determine how they might be affected by it. Thus, we are unable to provide substantive comment on most policy issues, even though these may appear to be significant to young Australians.

AYAC and its members, do believe, however, that there is a clear, demonstrated, need for a fully funded and functional national youth affairs peak to provide a strong, independent voice on issues of importance to young Australians, and its representatives are available to make comments on this topic.

Additionally, AYAC and its representatives are able to refer journalists to members with expertise and experience in an issue for additional comment (and this is the general practice in responding to media inquiries outside our capacity). Naturally, these organisations do not speak on AYAC's behalf.
