Mission Australia’s Youth Survey is an annual survey that aims to identify the aspirations, experiences and issues of concern to young people. Participants are from a range of communities across Australia and from diverse socioeconomic, cultural, religious, gender and ability backgrounds. In addition to the usual topic areas (socio-demographic information; participation and engagement with education and employment; family and social support; concerns; general wellbeing; and participation in activities), the 2022 Youth Survey also includes questions on help seeking, the impact of COVID-19, community connections, housing and financial situations.
