Youth information advisory group

Description:

The Youth Information Advisory Group was established by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) in 2005 to provide advice to AIHW from a range of perspectives on young peoples' development, health and wellbeing information issues.

The membership of this group consists of many of the same people who served on the Picture of Australia's Children and Child and Youth Health Information Advisory Groups which provided advice to AIHW on previous child and youth health publications and indicators from 2001-2005.

The Youth Information Advisory Group seeks advice from a wide variety of experts in order to develop indicators to measure aspects of young peoples' wellbeing in line with recent national and international developments.
