Rural Youth Organisation of Tasmania Inc.

The Rural Youth Organisation is made up of young people both male and female who are aged 15 to 30 and come from varying backgrounds. Not all members live or work on farms, in many instances the only thing members have in common is that they are young people interested in developing themselves and meeting other people.

Youth Network of Tasmania

Youth Network of Tasmania (YNOT) is the peak body for the non-government youth sector in Tasmania. YNOT improves the Tasmanian community's response to youth issues by:

Involving young people and service providers in identifying and responding to youth issues;

Developing coordinating mechanisms across the youth sector; and providing advice to government and other agencies on youth issues.

Tasmanian Youth Forum

The Tasmanian Youth Forum (TYF) is the peak youth consultation body for young people in Tasmania. TYF is open to all young Tasmanians between the ages of 12 and 25 years who are interested in having their say on the issues that matter to them. Some of the opportunities that TYF provides includes; responding to Tasmanian government policies and priorities, bringing news issues of concern to Government and other groups, and developing strategies to help young people to become more involved in the community.
