Youth justice discussion paper - young people's feedback 2024 Survey

My name is Jacqueline McGowan-Jones, and I am the Commissioner for Children and Young People for Western Australia.

My office and I work hard to make a better world for all children and young people. We:

stand up for children and young people’s rights
listen to what children and young people have to say
tell everyone about the great ideas children and young people have and the great things they do.

You can visit our website to learn more about what we do.

I have created discussion papers on four key priority areas which include youth justice, health and mental health, education and child protection and they can be found online.
