Thank you for your feedback


September 21, 2018

Thank you to everyone who shared their feedback to help shape the future of youth services in City of Melbourne. We received a great response from the community, and importantly we heard directly from many young people.

Here is a snapshot of what we heard:

The types of support we should offer for young people are:

  • housing
  • alcohol and other drugs
  • employment
  • education
  • counselling and individual support.

The most prevalent challenges facing young people are:

  • employment
  • affordable housing
  • mental Health
  • education
  • addiction
  • social Isolation.

In addition, we received a number of ideas and suggestions, including:

  • create more opportunities for young people to have their say and contribute to decision making
  • when designing programs consider young people of colour and young people who identify as LGBTIQ+
  • provide employment opportunities for young people.
