Description

The Mparntwe/Alice Springs Youth Action Plan 2019-2021 (Youth Action Plan) is a key component in the implementation of the Regional Youth Services Framework established by the Northern Territory (NT) Government in April 2018. The Youth Action Plan was developed in collaboration with key community partners, including young people, and outlines the goals and priorities for the community over a minimum two-year period

Young people were consulted through face-to-face surveys in December 2018 and January 2019. This was facilitated and conducted with the assistance of youth service providers and government agencies. The consultation process encompassed the broadest possible range of service providers related to youth in the Mparntwe/Alice Springs region. This included the Australian, Northern Territory and local governments, non-government organisations and services related to youth welfare, law, police, youth diversion, accommodation, transport, health, mental health, education and training and employment.
