21.01.2022 A day of online meetings for our EOs today. While Nicky & Kim were in different places, they were still tuned into VCOSS Treasurers Breakfast. Great to see a budget that put people ahead of the bottom line.

16.01.2022 Congratulations to Youth Affairs Council Victoria celebrating 60 years at their AGM today. We are very proud of the work you do & we are so pleased to be #YACVic members. Keep up the great work.

16.01.2022 Helena wants a secure future just like every other Year 12 student. The chance to study, to find a job, and to start a life of her own. But like thousands of ot...her young Victorians, that dream seems more and more out of reach. This pandemic has changed so much already, all around the world and for many young people, it's meant spending an important time of their lives in limbo. "We've been away from friends, studying from home wasn't always easy and staying motivated has been difficult for a lot of people too. I was working as a singer at events and parties and stuff while I did VCE, but that dried up." Helena wants to become a paramedic when she finishes school, but she says she doesn't know how the pandemic might impact her future and nor do her classmates. "I think a lot of my friends are worried about how their plans might change." But it's young Victorians like Helena who'll help us fully recover from this pandemic and now more than ever we need them to gain the skills to create jobs and build big. That's why we've announced Victoria's first ever Youth Strategy. We're talking directly to young people all around the state from Bendigo to Bundoora. And hearing from community workers, youth organisations, support services and more. It's the first time the Government has ever developed a youth strategy for young people, by young people. And it'll play a big role in helping our state recover and grow when this pandemic is over. Because if we're going to come out of this stronger we need to do things differently. And if we're going to change the future, we first have to listen to Victoria's future.

15.01.2022 It was great to have a combined meeting of the Hume & Whittlesea Youth Commitments, alongside community partners with Youth Affairs Council Victoria to discuss their COVID recovery plan & the Victorian Governments #YouthStrategy. Consultations are open at the moment for the Youth Strategy & we are encouraging everyone to get involved. There is lots of info on the YACVic website.
