The Youth Homelessness Representative Council (YHRC) is a group of 10 young people (aged 18–25 years) who meet several times a year to discuss and plan around issues affecting young people at risk of or experiencing homelessness.

The overall aim of the YHRC is to:

  • engage with young people in decision making around issues that affect young people experiencing homelessness
  • provide young people with a platform to voice concerns on issues that matter to them
  • provide opportunities to collaborate with young people on policy and program development
  • provide an opportunity for member services and government to consult with young people about proposed practice and policy changes
  • engage with the sector and ensure we are bringing together the collective voice of young people.
