Youth Action Plan
The Youth Action Plan 2024-2027 highlights opportunities to improve the lives of young people in the City of Salisbury.
The Plan focuses on three key priorities for youth, including:
- health and wellbeing
- equity, discrimination and unfair treatment
- educational engagement and successful transitions.
The Plan was developed in consultation with young people to understand their needs and issues impacting their lives, as well as how Council can support them.
Programs and initiatives
A range of targeted initiatives and programs based on the key priorities will be rolled out over the next three years to support our local youth.
City of Salisbury is partnering with Sonder to provide an 18-month pilot to provide additional youth mental health services for people aged 12 to 25 living in Salisbury. The service is located at Twelve25 and provides one-on-one consulting services with a qualified mental health worker from headspace Edinburgh North across four days per week.
For more information, visit headspace at Twelve25.
The annual Youth Market provides an opportunity for young people aged 12 to 25 to showcase their skills and talents in a welcoming environment within the City of Salisbury.
The annual Youth Summit connects, consults and drives action with young people in Salisbury. Each year, the Youth Summit will focus on a different key priority from the Youth Action Plan.
