We are the peak body advocating on behalf of young Australians and the youth sector.

Drawing on youth insight poll responses from 500 young people aged 12–26, a consultation with young people from diverse backgrounds and evidence from a national roundtable involving young people, practitioners, academics and advocates, this report examines how young Australians understand workplace rights, where they seek information and the barriers they face in claiming those rights.

AYAC youth members have joined forces nationally to demand the Australian Government provides peak funding and enable the organisation to continue representing and supporting youth advocacy.

In June, the Federal Government’s Office for Youth ceased funding the Australian Youth Affairs Coalition (AYAC) - Australia’s national peak body representing young people aged 12 to 26.
