Our Mission

A fairer future for every young Queenslander.

QYAA exists to make sure young people aren't an afterthought in the decisions that shape their lives. We organise, advocate and act on the issues that matter most to youth across Queensland.

Student Rights

Protecting the voice, dignity and fair treatment of every student in classrooms, campuses and policy rooms across Queensland.

Youth Progress

Backing young Queenslanders with the opportunities, mentorship and platforms they need to lead, build and thrive.

Youth Crime Reduction

Tackling the root causes of youth crime through prevention, education and community-led pathways — not punishment alone.

Cheaper Education

Pushing for affordable schooling, training and tertiary study so a young person's future isn't decided by their postcode or pay packet.

Mental Health Support

Fighting for accessible, timely and youth-friendly mental health services — because waiting lists shouldn't cost lives.

Youth Affordability & Independence

Championing fair wages, lower living costs and the financial freedom young people need to stand on their own two feet.

Housing Opportunities

Pushing for affordable rentals, youth housing pathways and a real shot at home ownership for the next generation.

Stronger Communities

Connecting young people, families and local leaders so progress is built with the community, not handed down to it.

Stand with us.

Whether you're a student, parent, educator or community leader — your voice strengthens the movement for a better Queensland.
