Raise Our Voice Australia
Mobilising young women and gender diverse people through education, campaigns and community to transform policy and politics.
Welcome to year six of Raise Our Voice in Parliament.
Bigger, bolder, and more powerful than ever — over 500 young voices have been heard in parliament. Will yours be one of them?
Your voice matters. Your ideas inspire change. Don’t just watch history happen, be part of it. Raise your voice today.
Have you participated in a youth civic engagement program?
We’re want to connect with young people who've done civic engagement programs to hear about your post program experience. What happened next? What did support look like for you on the next stage of your leadership journey? And if you didn't stay engaged in a civics space, what might have helped you to stay involved?
If you participated in a civic engagement program and were 34 or under at time, we want to hear from you. Open to young people of all genders.

1) New research by Raise Our Voice Australia finds that young women and gender diverse people are less likely to aspire to political and government careers due to lower likelihood to identify as a leader, lack of role models, and low confidence in their qualifications.
Young people are politically engaged, and doing politics differently
2) A new report released by the Global Institute of Women’s Leadership, supported by Raise Our Voice Australia, finds that young politically engaged Australians care passionately about key issues, but don’t feel represented or listened to by our political leaders.
3) Research by Raise Our Voice Australia in partnership with The Body Shop shows young women and gender diverse people are less likely to engage in political spaces as a result of media reporting over the last 12 months.
