The program encourages young people aged 15-25 to actively participate in shaping their community by giving them an opportunity to express their views, concerns and solutions to those with the power to make a change.
Participants spend time in committees developing bills and attend a week-long camp during which the legislation and other motions are debated in the State Parliament. Successfully passed bills are handed to the state government and opposition for consideration.
Department of Communities is proud to support the Y WA to run the Youth Parliament to give young Western Australians experience in leadership, public speaking, writing legislation and working as a team to achieve outcomes.
