The NSW Youth Advisory Council (YAC) plays an important role in advising the NSW Government on issues that are relevant to young people across the state.

Membership of the YAC is open to all children and young people between 12 and 24 years of age residing in NSW. Applications are sought from young people with diverse backgrounds and life experiences, from across NSW.

The 12 member YAC provides a direct avenue of communication between young people and the NSW Government.

The YAC meets regularly over their term throughout the year to provide advice to the Minister responsible for Youth and the Advocate for Children and Young People on issues, policies and laws that affect children and young people in NSW.

Membership of the YAC provides an opportunity for children and young people to contribute to the work of the NSW Government.
