Description

The Policy aims to drive equitable, effective and coordinated health services that optimise the health and wellbeing of young people in WA.
The Policy provides a platform to articulate the voices of young people, providing insight in to their health experiences and needs. These views and ideas have been integral to informing the Policy, with participation from young people central to its development.
Three goals and seven priorities for action relating to the health and wellbeing of young people aged 10 to 24 years in WA over the next five years are articulated in the Policy. These goals and priorities aim to guide the WA health system, health services, communities, young people and their families, carers and support networks to effectively meet the health and wellbeing needs of young people in WA.
