This event is exclusively for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Youth aged 18 to 29 years.

The WA  Aboriginal Youth Conference is an exclusive one-day event for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander youth to learn, speak up and discuss important issues in our communities. It provides an opportunity for personal and professional development, inspiration and connection with other like-minded young people.

Our young people are our future and that's why we strive to make the day as engaging and fun as possible in a safe environment. Ranging from interactive workshops to panel discussions with experts, the day will be one for young Aboriginal people from all walks of life. Around 60-80 youth attend the Conference.

An Exhibition is held concurrently with the Youth Conference. Exhibitors are generally those offering career pathways and education or providing products and services to the Sector.
