Youth Work Matters to Victoria: Strengthening young people’s access to youth workers across the state

Youth workers are unique professionals who help young people connect, contribute and thrive, for everybody's benefit.

They can make a great difference to many of the key issues affecting young Victorians today, including education, employment, mental health and justice. However, new resourcing, planning and coordination is needed to ensure every Victorian community – rural, regional and metropolitan – benefits from the expertise of trained, supported youth workers.
