What is the Premier’s Youth Advisory Council?

11 December 2023

The Premier’s Youth Advisory Council (PYAC) provides an opportunity for young people to meet with the Premier and the Minister for Education, Children and Youth to discuss their ideas on how we can make Tasmania a better place.

PYAC is a group of 24 young Tasmanians aged 12-25 who meet with the Premier and the Minister several times a year. It is a chance for young people to inform the Tasmanian Government on issues and policies that affect them and their peers. It is a place for young people to work together with the Government to deliver the best outcomes for young Tasmanians.

Council members are offered opportunities to be involved in consultation and implementation of Government policies and strategies and to meet representatives from across the Tasmanian Government.
