The Youth Affairs Council of Western Australia is proud to present our Pre-Budget Submission 2025-26 to Government. This submission outlines eighteen (18) recommendations based on consultation with young people and the sector that supports them in Western Australia.

Times are tough for young people across WA right now, but they do not have to be Government can choose to invest in and activate progressive policies and programs that ensure all young people have access to the supports that they need to dream big and thrive in 2025-26. We are calling on the Government to make a historic investment in supporting young people and the youth sector this year to ensure no young people in WA are left behind.
