    The Mission Australia Youth Survey is Australia’s largest annual survey of its kind. It provides a platform for young people aged 15 to 19 to share their aspirations and ‘speak up’ about the issues that really concern them.

    Each year, the Youth Survey gives valuable insights into the lives of young Australians and an understanding of their values, concerns, challenges and ambitions. The survey provides a snapshot of how young people feel about their own lives and broader national issues.

    A record number of 28,286 young people between the ages of 15 to 19 from right across Australia took part in Mission Australia’s Youth Survey 2018. Read the full report HERE
