Submission in response to DHS Youth Action Plan

06/08/23

Uniting Communities thanks the Department of Human Services for seeking feedback into the development of the 2023 -2026 Youth Action Plan.

We too believe that all young people in South Australia should have fair and equitable access to opportunities, resources and supports. 

Uniting Communities recommends that the 2023 –2026 Youth Action Plan: 

  1. Includes initiatives that raise awareness of loneliness and addresses the stigma associated with it. 

  1. Assists young people who are involved with, or at risk of becoming involved with, the child protection system by adopting our six-point plan to reframe the system. 

  1. Commits to better supporting young people access safe and appropriate housing by increasing resources to services like the Ruby’s Reunification Program and by improving South Australia’s residential tenancy laws.
