Applications open - 2027 Australian Youth Representative to the United Nations

Applications are now open to become the 2027 Australian Youth Representative to the United Nations.

Each year, the Youth Representative travels across Australia to hear directly from young people aged 12–25 about their experiences, priorities and ideas, helping ensure young voices are represented in national and international decision-making.

The successful applicant will lead consultations with young people across the country, meet with government and community leaders and represent young Australians at the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

YFCC encourages young people across our community who are passionate about creating change and making sure young Australians are heard to consider applying.

Applicants must be Australian citizens, aged at least 18 when applying and no older than 25 as of 1 January 2027. Applications close on 13 September 2026.
