Youth Forum 2026

Next date: Thursday, 07 May 2026 | 09:00 AM to 03:00 PM

We’re inviting local high schools, universities, TAFE, Colleges and individual young people, aged 12-24, to our annual Youth Forum designed with young people and for young people.

Each year, local young people get the chance to:

Learn from real-world specialists who work in areas young people care about—from wellbeing, to sustainability, opportunities to safety and belonging to voice.

Have your voice heard through interactive workshops, open discussions, and spaces designed for young people to share your ideas, perspectives, and lived experiences.

Connect with students from other schools across the area, build new friendships, and collaborate on projects and challenges.

Shape future youth programs in your community by telling us what matters to you - your insights will directly influence local planning and opportunities.

This isn’t a lecture or a boring sit‑and‑listen event. It’s hands-on, youth-driven, and created to empower you to speak up, innovate, and explore what your future could look like.

The theme for the 2026 Youth Forum is "Sustainability: Your Future, Your Planet"
