WE ARE THE WH&Y COMMISSION

We are a group of young Australians from different backgrounds, and vastly different lived experiences, who are changing the way young people’s health is researched and delivered in our country.

Together with WH&Y researchers, we have established a platform that supports the meaningful engagement of young people in health research, and channels that research into better policy, better services and better professional practice.

young people’s health priorities to help set the agenda for youth health in Australia

WE COMMUNICATE

to get the message out to young people AND to decision-makers

WE COLLABORATE

with professionals so their research is informed by youth perspectives

WE ADVOCATE
