"45% of all young people in Australia aged 12-24 are either first or second generation migrants (ABS, 2016). Focused investment and nurturing is required to continue to build and maintain Australia as a successful multicultural society – one that affords all its members opportunities to participate fully and meaningfully."

We look forward to continuing to work with the Morrison government on targeted approaches in policy and service delivery - to foster strength in our diversity and ensure young people can unlock opportunities that lead to full participation in Australian society.
