Mission Australia have launched their 2024 Youth Survey report that captures the experiences and perspectives of young people aged 15-19.

Young people have identified cost of living, climate change and the environment, violence, safety and crime and mental health as the top national issues that they want Australia to address in 2024.

The Youth Survey Report 2024 has also revealed that most young people felt good about their lives and their education and employment opportunities, but some faced housing and financial hardships and worried about their future.

It also revealed that while young people felt connected to those close to them and their community, and knew where to get information about important issues, they can find it hard to fit in, have a say and be treated fairly.
