The Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPAC) is recruiting young people aged between 12 – 24 to join the Premiers Youth Advisory Council (PYAC) in 2024.

The PYAC is an opportunity for young people to meet with the Premier, Minister for Education, Children and Youth and Government to discuss their ideas on how we can make Tasmania a better place.

Members meet three times a year in Hobart or Launceston to discuss issues that are important to them.

Young people across Tasmania are invited to apply, no matter their academic or participation background. DPAC wants a diverse group of young people who can bring a range of experiences and perspectives.

DPAC would welcome the opportunity to promote the PYAC in your school newsletter and other communication channels. Please find newsletter wording attached to include in your newsletter should you wish to promote this opportunity. Expressions of interest will open on 2 December 2023 and close on 11:59pm on Sunday 14 January 2024.
