23.01.2022 We are looking for young people aged 16-25 and living in the ACT to participate in a 30-45 min online survey. The Office for Mental Health and Wellbeing, The Australian National University, and other community partners (like the YAC!!) are developing an Online Youth Navigation Portal for the ACT. The Portal will be a one-stop shop for children, young people and their parents to find and access mental health services and information. They want to know what information and tools you think this website should provide. For more information, and to access the survey, please follow the link.

14.01.2022 Keep your hands extra clean, CBR Wash hands often + thoroughly (that’s 20 to 30 seconds) to keep yourself and others well and safe. We know you’re already c...lean, but we’ve got to be extra vigilant during these times. Don’t forget commonly missed spots like your thumbs, between digits, the back of your fingers, under the nails, and your palms and wrists Don’t let complacency (or too-quickly washed hands) set us back.

Before you get you...r mingle on, know you’re STI free. An STI check can be as quick and easy as peeing in a cup.
