About the survey
The Mission Australia Youth Survey is your chance to speak up about what life is really like for young people in Australia. Now in its 25th year, it’s the biggest survey of its kind, and your voice helps shape a clearer national picture of what young people are experiencing today.
If you’re 14–19, you can share what matters to you - your challenges, hopes, goals, and what you wish adults understood. What you tell us helps schools, governments, and community groups better support young people and respond to the issues you face.
Thousands take part each year, and every voice counts. The survey is anonymous and is a simple way to make sure your views are heard.
The 2026 Youth Survey is now open, celebrating 25 years of insights from young people aged 14 to 19.
