Mission Australia’s Youth Survey 2024 Report has launched. This year, 17,480 young people aged 15-19 completed the survey between April and August 2024.
Top national issues were cost of living (56%), climate change and the environment (27%), violence, safety and crime (25%), and mental health (23%). As it has for the last three years, housing and homelessness (17%) continues to feature prominently in the top 10 national issues.
The insights from our annual Youth Survey remain crucial for young people, their parents, educators, policymakers, community services and everyone who support them. By listening to their voices and addressing the issues they raise, we can work together to build a more inclusive and supportive Australia to grow up and thrive in.
