Young people on the Central Coast aged 14-24 are being encouraged to share their views on issues that matter most to them in the Your Voice, Our Future survey, which is open until Tuesday, December 31.
Results of the online survey, to be shared across the whole of government, will help guide the development of government policies, programs, and services to better support young people in NSW.
Member for Gosford Liesl Tesch said the survey would inform ministerial priorities within the youth portfolio.
“Young people are our future, and it’s wonderful to see our young people having their voices heard and having agency in the future direction of Government,” she said.
“It is so important that our young people are consulted about what matters most to them, what is working, and what is not.
“This important feedback will help government to focus its efforts on the right things.”
Although the survey is anonymous, there is an option for survey participants to add their contact details if they would like to be kept involved, or if they opt in to be entered into a monthly draw to win a gift card up to the value of $250.
Survey participants under 18 will need to provide contact details of their parent or guardian who may be contacted directly to confirm consent for participation.
The survey was developed by the NSW Government in partnership with the Advocate for Children and Young People (ACYP) and the Office of Regional Youth.
