👉 Please consider sharing this opportunity with:
- Young people you support
- Participants, clients, or emerging young leaders in your community

Australian Research Alliance for Children and Youth, in partnership with the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing, is hosting the Young and Wise Roundtables in 2026 — paid, youth-led conversations designed to ensure young people’s lived experiences help shape policy and system decisions.

These roundtables exist so decisions are made with young people, not just about them. DEADLINE: 30 Jan 2026

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

When women come together, confidence becomes collective.
Stories are shared. Understanding grows. Momentum follows.

It’s a reminder that leadership, care, ambition, and complexity don’t have to be navigated alone — and that shared space builds resilience and real change.

📍 Western Sydney – 4 March
📍 Gold Coast – 6 March
📍 Adelaide – 10 March

We hope your break was filled with real presence and time away from the pings of emails, calendar alerts, and video calls.

As we step into 2026, we’re reminded that care starts with presence, not pace.

We’re looking forward to another year of coming together sharing practical insights, learning from one another, and strengthening connections that support participants, families, and providers.
