The Tasmanian Government is establishing an independent Commission for Children and Young People.

The Commission will stand up for the rights and wellbeing of children and young people in Tasmania to help keep them safe.

Young people are invited to share their views on what the Commission should look like and how it could work.

If you are a young person aged 12-25 years living in Tasmania and keen to have a say on the new Commission, we need to hear from you!

YNOT is hosting a 2-hr online workshop for young people. Feedback will be included in a consultation summary report, along with other people’s, to tell government about how the Commission should operate and what it should be able to do.

By participating in our workshop, you will also receive a $100 e-gift voucher to thank you for your time and contributions. 

The workshop is limited to 12 participants.

When: Tuesday 10 December 2024, 5PM-7PM 
Where: Online – ZOOM 
Registration Form: https://forms.office.com/r/eeeTU9uefz

What we will do with this information

YNOT will contact you to confirm your registration by email and/or text. We will send you more information before the workshop and will need you to sign and return a Consent Form to participate. If you are under the age of 18, we will need a parent or guardian to give permission for you to attend. 

What if I change my mind?

You can withdraw from the activity at anytime and you do not need to tell us why. If you can't attend we ask you let us know ASAP so we can offer your space to another young person.
