WH&Y Youth Health Matters: Young people’s perspectives was produced by the WH&Y Commission to assist researchers and policy makers in their efforts to develop evidence-based responses to young people’s health needs — now, and into the future.

Informed by online workshops and survey responses, this publication reveals the health and wellbeing concerns of diverse young people across NSW, SA, WA, NT, QLD and ACT. The views shared are informed by the living and lived experiences of the young people who took part, including their training and work in health-related areas, and their personal, peer and community struggles.
