As a Member of Parliament, Natalie Suleyman is determined to ensure that all local residents, regardless of age, have the opportunity to engage and have a say on community issues and our government.

That’s why she is continuing her St Albans Youth Advisory Council to provide young people in our community with the opportunity to reflect the opinions of their peers, develop vitally important leadership and critical thinking skills and learn about government and policy making processes.

The Youth Advisory Council members have the opportunity to meet with MP’s, community and business leaders about issues they have nominated as being of interest. Take a leadership role in developing their own community-based initiatives focused on key issues to young people.

Students are not required to apply based on academic performance but rather their ability to use this opportunity to learn and represent the interests of their peers. There is no cost attached for participating on the Youth Advisory Council.

Please find the attached form to fill out and return via email to charlotte.nunns@parliament.vic.gov.au . Applications close on Monday the 21st of June, with the first meeting of the 2024 Youth Advisory Council to be held on Thursday 25th July, 4pm at my office shop M004A Keilor Downs shopping centre, 80 Taylors road Keilor Downs VIC 3038.
