QFCC Youth Summit home

The QFCC Youth Summit aims to amplify the lived experiences of young Queenslanders. It’s an opportunity for young people aged 25 years and under to speak directly to government and community decision-makers and leaders about issues that are important to them and the young people around them. Ideas for positive change will be presented with the aim of improving the lives of children, young people, their families and communities. 

Speech topic sessions are based on the ARACY Nest Wellbeing Framework:

• Valued, loved and safe
• Healthy
• Participating
• Learning
• Material basics
• Identity and culture

Last year’s event was a great success with 38 incredible young speakers! Check out the speeches of the 2024 Youth Summit here.

We are excited to announce that on Thursday 10 April, we will be hosting the 2025 QFCC Youth Summit!

This 2025 Youth Summit will be a one-day event amplifying the voices of young people. Each speaker will be given a 6-minute time period to present their advocacy piece on stage to an audience of decision- and policy- makers. Key leaders in the sector will provide reflection speeches after each of the six speaker sessions. 

There will be an opportunity to network with attendees, sector leads, the QFCC Commissioners and the young speakers during the morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea breaks.  

Keep an eye out for when you can express your interest in attending the summit – opening in February 2025.
