What a day! 🙌

On Wednesday 9 September our Youth Council, along with the Mansfield, Moira and Indigo shire Youth Councils, had the incredible opportunity to visit Parliament House, where they began the day with a guided tour and attended Question Time, gaining a firsthand look at the parliamentary process in action.

The group also had the privilege of meeting with the Premier, the Minister for Youth, and the Shadow Minister for Youth. Members shared their perspectives on issues affecting young people and engaged in meaningful discussions about the future of our community.

Throughout the day, they had the opportunity to speak with elected representatives, hear their experiences, and gain valuable insights into the workings of government and public leadership.

10 September is R U OK Day.

R U OK? inspire and empower everyone to meaningfully connect with the people around them and start a conversation with those in their world who may be struggling with life.

Here are a few tips to help you support your mates:

Be relaxed, friendly and concerned in your approach.

Help them open up by asking questions like "How are you going?" or "What’s been happening?"

Mention specific things that have made you concerned for them, like "You seem less chatty than usual. How are you going?"
