Happy international youth day! 🥳

This years theme is ‘Different Contexts, Common Aspirations’ so we asked our team what being a young person means to them!

We attended the save VicHealth rally last week and the signs were bananas 🍌😝

Follow Friends of VicHealth to see their advocacy journey as the hearings surrounding VicHealth’s independence progress 🙂‍↕️

We caught up with our good friends Gippsland Region Public Health Unit to go billboard hunting in Traralgon! 👀🕵️

If you’re in Gippsland, there’s a good chance you might these billboards featuring local young people from all across local shires, sharing messages for their peers on their experience with va**ng. 🚭

These billboards are a part of our ongoing No Filter: Real stories Gippsland Campaign in collaboration with the Gippsland Region Public Health Unit (GRPHU) as well as Bass Coast Shire Council East Gippsland Shire Council Latrobe City Council Wellington Shire Council

Let’s talk about s*x… education! 🫣

If you’re a young person aged 14–18 and living in Australia, this one’s for you. 🫵

The Australian Human Rights Commission is running the On Your Terms survey – an online survey that asks young people their views on consent, respectful relationships and s*x education.

The survey is:
✅ Open to anyone aged 14–18 living in Australia
🔒 Anonymous
⏰ just 10–15 minutes long.

You can even enter a draw to win 1 of 40x $50 eGift cards by
completing the survey.

The answers will help inform how consent, respectful relationships and s*x education is taught in Australian schools.
