Youth Speaker
Directory
Australia’s leading young
voices in one place
Looking for fresh, lived insight on today’s big issues?
We’ve gathered some of Australia’s sharpest young voices — ready to speak on education, employment, mental health, and more.
These aren’t just opinions — they’re perspectives shaped by experience. If you’re a journalist, producer, or newsroom looking to connect, we’d love to hear from you.
BEHIND THE DIRECTORY
We’ve trained young people across Australia and the Asia-Pacific to become confident, credible media contributors. Through hands-on workshops, they’ve learned how to shape personal stories, speak to national issues, and connect with journalists in meaningful ways.
They’re trained to:
Share their lived experience and expertise
-
Communicate stories and insights with confidence
-
Show up with professionalism and authenticity
OUR FELLOWSHIP
In 2021, we launched a global media fellowship — bringing together young changemakers and entrepreneurs from seven countries across four continents.
They learned directly from media professionals how to craft powerful narratives, build personal brands, and engage the press with clarity and confidence. This included leaders from ABC, Channel 9, and the United Nations Association.
The goal? A new wave of youth storytellers — credible, compelling, and impossible to ignore.
📰 Good News: A few days after the fellowship, several changemakers were featured in national media in Hong Kong and the Asia Pacific.
