If you're a young person, we want to hear from you!

News 18 June 2020

We are living through a very challenging time at the moment – there have been lots of changes in the world around us and, for lots of us, the future may seem pretty uncertain.

The Commission for Children and Young People exists to promote the safety and wellbeing of children and young people in Victoria, and one of the ways we do this is by talking to government and service providers and advocating for change where it’s needed. To do that well, we need to hear directly from young people themselves.

We would really like to hear from you about how things are going. To let us know:

  • You can do the Commission’s online survey here
  • If you don't want to complete the survey, you can email us at engage@ccyp.vic.gov.au and just tell us what you think.

To find out what's happening and engage with us, you can also follow us on social media:

We’ll put information up about future opportunities that you might be interested in.
