Thank you for reaching out to the Tasmanian Youth Voice Network - Pilot. Your involvement will help shape a new way for young people to participate in government decision-making processes and have a voice on policies, programs and projects that directly affect them.

How did this pilot come about?

In our engagement through the Tasmanian Youth Story in 2022 we heard that young people are frustrated with being shut out of community discussions, particularly on issues that impact them, and often feel excluded, ignored, or silenced when it comes to decision-making, strategic planning and leadership. 

This pilot (co-designed between YNOT, Brand Tasmania and young people) aims to support meaningful participation in government policy discussions, strategic planning and decision-making for young people aged 18-25. 

It aims to:

• Establish and strengthen ways for young people to participate in Government consultation
• Review community engagement processes and ensure these are inclusive of young people
• Develop the skills and capacity of young people to effectively engage with Government

How long does the pilot TYVN go for?

The pilot commenced July 2023 and will finish in February 2024. It is hoped that further funding will allow the network to continue beyond the pilot.
