Eleven young people from across Queensland have been chosen to represent their peers and help shape Queensland’s future following their selection for the new Queensland Youth Engagement Panel.

Minister for Youth, Di Farmer says she is looking forward to hearing from the young members about their views on a range of issues and ideas across a broad range of government business.

Ms Farmer acknowledges that young people are the Queenslanders who are most affected by decisions the government makes. Yet it’s often older people who are making those important decisions.
