**We do work that really matters**

The Office for Youth (OY) is led by the NSW Advocate for Children and Young People. Established on 1 July 2025, OY serves as a vital link between the NSW Government and young people, ensuring their voices influence policy and decision-making. It focuses on creating accessible and relevant platforms for youth engagement, aiming to empower young people with the information and resources needed to participate in issues that matter to them. The OY’s work is guided by five key priorities: consulting with youth to drive meaningful change, promoting their voices through co-designed policies, advising government via an expanded Youth Advisory Council, supporting key stakeholders with informed recommendations, and fostering innovation to meet evolving needs. Through creative outreach and active presence at youth events, the OY strives to rebuild trust and enhance communication between young people and government.

Under the leadership of the Advocate for Children and Young People, OY also works to support the improvement of the safety, welfare and wellbeing of all children and young people in NSW as outlined in the Advocate’s enabling legislation, The Advocate for Children and Young People Act 2025.

Working for the Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) provides lots of opportunities to make a real difference. We collaborate with other agencies and community partners, to improve lives and realise the potential of children, adults, families and communities. We're focused on breaking, rather than managing, disadvantage. It’s work that really matters.
