The National Youth Roundtable was established by the Federal Government to create a direct dialogue with young Australians and to ensure that their views are taken into account in policy-making processes.

The Roundtable brings together 50 young people, aged 15 to 24 years, to meet with the Commonwealth Government to discuss issues that affect their generation.

The Commonwealth meets all accommodation, meals and travel costs. Assessment for selection is based on your involvement in the community, your experience and interest in a range of issues affecting young people, your achievements, and your ability to effectively consult with other young people. Successful applicants will be announced in January/February 2003.
