National Youth Survey

Mission Australia's eighth annual National Survey of Young Australians


The eighth survey of Mission Australia was announced today (20 April 2009).

Each year, Mission Australia's national survey asks young people aged 11 to 24 about what they value, their issues of concern, where they go for advice and support, and what activities they are involved in. Surveys can be completed until 26 June and the findings will be released later in the year.

The survey is a great opportunity for young people to have a say about the issues that affect them. Results from previous years have been an effective advocacy tool for improving services for young people. The survey is available online at http://www.missionaustralia.com.au/youthsurvey.

Hard copies and PDFs of the survey are also available (from Susie Scherf at scherfs@missionaustralia.com.au or by phoning (02) 9219 2098).
