On 2 October 2008 the Australian Government launched the Australian Youth Forum initiative.
This initiative is aimed at providing young Australians aged 16–24 and the youth sector with the opportunity to communicate their ideas, thoughts and opinions to Government on issues important to them.
The Australian Youth Forum has a dedicated website, enabling young people to have their say at any time. This website includes discussions boards on topical matters and announcements of future forums and events.
On 20 February 2009 the Australian Youth Forum will host its first multi-locational forum between the Federal Minister for Youth, Kate Ellis, and young people from across Australia.
Ten locations across all Australian states will be linked by live video satellite so that young people can lead and contribute to these discussions.
