Policy and Research

Policy Advocacy

The South Australian Government develops policies and legislation on an ongoing basis, many of which have an impact, directly or indirectly, on young people's lives. One of YACSA's roles is to provide advice on policy and legislation that affects young South Australians, on behalf of its membership.

There are a number of ways in which YACSA carries out policy advocacy: through submissions to the South Australian Government regarding the State Budget; through our policy platform (324Kb) which outlines YACSA's position on many issues affecting young people and the youth sector; through media releases and through submissions and responses to Government consultation processes.

The YACSA Policy Platform is also downloadable from this page as separate pdfs covering the 32 policy platforms grouped under 7 areas.
