ARACY Young and Wise Report

ARACY Young and Wise brings together insights from consultations with children and young people across Australia over the past five years.

This isn’t just surveys—it includes conversations, videos, artworks, and more. While not exhaustive, it’s the largest summary of its kind, capturing key themes from broad wellbeing consultations with over 10,000+ children and young people over 5 years, alongside 117 reports focused on specific groups and issues.

Covering birth to 25 years, the full report is structured by age and the six wellbeing domains of The Nest, Australia’s national wellbeing framework. Here, we’ve distilled the key themes and practical actions stakeholders can take to help young Australians thrive.

Supported by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care, Young and Wise is a powerful resource for those committed to listening to and acting on what young people need for their holistic wellbeing, including how to be healthy.
