Mission Australia is conducting its fifth survey of young Australians aged between 11-24 years. Its primary purpose is to identify and clarify the key and emerging issues for young people.

It asks young people about what they value; their concerns; sources of advice and support; involvement in community activities, whether they identify as Indigenous and if they live in or outside a capital city.

In 2005, 11,300 young people responded to the survey.

The survey publicly affirms that young people and their views are valued by the community and is a valuable resource for:
 young people themselves
 those working with young people, in helping to evaluate and improve their programs and policies
 those involved in youth issues, including youth organisations, researchers, employers, politicians
 anyone concerned about the wellbeing of young people.

The survey can also be completed on line at www.missionaustralia.com.au/youthsurvey

Copies of the report of the survey findings will be available late in 2006 and broadly distributed.
