The Hedland Youth Advisory Council has made a powerful submission to the Raise Our Voice Australia campaign as part of the Raise Your Voice Campaign representing young people in Durack.
Youth consultations for this submission were led by Heidi Roil in collaboration with Hedland Senior High School and the Town of Port Hedland Youth Services Team.
During these conversations young people highlighted urgent issues facing youth in Hedland, especially the crisis of affordable housing, which is impacting the ability for families and young people to meet their basic needs. Despite Port Hedland’s vital role in powering Australia’s economy, many young locals face barriers to stability and wellbeing.
The Hedland Youth Advisory Council is calling on Parliament to take action to support young people living in regional and remote communities.
Heidi, a Youth Advisory Council member, will have her speech read in Parliament during Youth Voice in Parliament Week 27-30 October.
