The Youth Health Forum is a network of over a hundred young leaders from across Australia who work together to determine and champion youth perspectives on the current health system.
We are a diverse group of young people and not health policy experts, but experience matters. Youth Health Forum members are aged 18 — 30 and use the health and social care system or represent people who do. Our views highlight key areas that will help shape the health of Australians in the future.
Life Transitions and Youth Pathways to Health Services
The Youth Health Forum has produced a Report on Youth Transitions in Health Services.
It contains recommendations and supporting information about the challenges young people face in the healthcare system.
A series of short videos are being produced to explain the Report. The first is available now.
