Submissions are open until 27 June 2025
We want to hear from children and young people across Victoria about what matters most to them. Anyone aged under 25 can take part and every submission goes into the draw to win great prizes.
This project gives children and young people the chance to get creative and share what’s important to them, including what they would like to see change in Victoria.
How to take part
Children and young people can share their story however they’d like, either individually or as a group. They can:
- write it down
- draw a picture
- record a video or audio
- create music or something else unique.
They will need access to a smartphone or laptop to upload the creation.
We’ve created an instruction sheet for teachers to use in their classroom.
Getting children and young people inspired
Children and young people can focus on any topic they like, for example:
- School
- Family or home life
- Hobbies
- Culture
- Religious beliefs
We have also created a few prompts to help get the creativity flowing:
- What would you like to see changed to make things better for children and young people?
- What do you care about?
- Celebrating your difference - what makes you, you?
Why take part?
Our job is to try to make sure all children and young people in Victoria are kept safe and well. To do this properly, we want to hear directly from young people.
Submissions will help us advocate for changes to services and laws that affect young people.

If the child or young person provides their consent, we may share their stories to inspire others and raise awareness to government about what needs to change.
Plus, every submission goes into the draw for a chance to win great prizes, like:
- gift cards
- tickets to sporting events including AFL and A-League games
- tickets to fun activities, including zoo passes for you and your friends
- a day working with the Commissioner!
