A group of 21 diverse and passionate young leaders from across Victoria have been selected for the Andrews Labor Government’s fourth Victorian Youth Congress.
The 2022 Victorian Youth Congress will work closely with decision-makers in the Government to ensure the voices of young Victorians are heard on issues that matter to them.
The Victorian Youth Congress members reflect the state’s diversity with young people from Aboriginal, multicultural and LGBTIQ+ communities.
Members are aged between 12 and 25 and come from rural, regional and metropolitan areas across the state.
The new members will be provided with opportunities and supports to develop leadership and teamwork skills and try a range of new experiences.
The outgoing 2020-21 Victorian Youth Congress members have played a valuable role in supporting young Victorians by promoting health messaging to diverse young people during the pandemic and guiding the design and development of the upcoming Victorian Youth Strategy.
The new youth strategy is being developed following extensive consultation with young people, including the current Victorian Youth Congress and youth sector. It will set a long-term vision to make Victoria the best place to be for all young people.
An unprecedented 584 applications were received from Victorian young people through open recruitment for the 2022 Victorian Youth Congress.

Dear Reader,The Indian Sun is an independent organisation committed to community journalism. We have, through the years, been able to reach a wide audience especially with the growth of social media, where we also have a strong presence. With platforms such as YouTube videos, we have been able to engage in different forms of storytelling. However, the past few years, like many media organisations around the world, it has not been an easy path. We have a greater challenge. We believe community journalism is very important for a multicultural country like Australia. We’re not able to do everything, but we aim for some of the most interesting stories and journalism of quality. We call upon readers like you to support us and make any contribution. Do make a DONATION NOW so we can continue with the volume and quality journalism that we are able to practice.
Thank you for your support.
Best wishes,
Team The Indian Sun
