The intention of this report is to have a look at what we achieved during June 2024 - July 2025. It doesn't include all of the actions in the Directions from Young People Strategy (DFYP) 2022 - 2025, but just some ones we are particularly excited about sharing. It also is a chance for you, as a young person to hold us accountable to what we have and haven’t done - so if you have questions, ask us!

Directions from Young People
The 2022-2025 Directions from Young People Youth Strategy is a road map to help us deliver initiatives and plans in partnership with young people that support their health, wellbeing, and connection to community.
Thanks to input from 563 young people, four focus areas were identified:
- Youth Focus
- Wellbeing
- Communication
- Making a Difference
This new strategy was developed by YACWA, who worked with us throughout the project.
Youth Affairs Council of Western Australia
YACWA is the peak non-government youth organisation in Western Australia. They operate primarily as a human rights organisation that seeks to address the exclusion of young people in a rapidly changing society.
YACWA’s continued vision for Western Australia is one that celebrates and engages young people in all aspects of the community. Their role is to strengthen the trust, cooperation, collaboration; professionalism and voice of the non-government youth service sector to better serve the young people of Western Australia.

The Directions from Young People is our key informing document for how and why we work with young people. It includes direct input from our young residents so they can guide us on how we work with the community.
