Youth Week

Youth Week began as a NSW Government initiative in 1989, and has since grown to be a celebration of young people in every state and territory across the country.

It is organised by young people, for young people, in communities across NSW and Australia. Following the success of the NSW Youth Week program, Youth Week became a National event in 2000. National Youth Week is jointly supported by the Australian Government, State and Territory Governments and Local Governments.

National Youth Week is an opportunity for young people to:

  • Share ideas
  • Attend live events
  • Have their voices heard on issues of concern to them
  • Showcase their talents
  • Celebrate their contribution to the community
  • Take part in competitions
  • Have fun!
