Youthsafe supports the amendment to the Constitution of Australia to recognise the First Peoples of our nation by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice through referendum.

Youthsafe is committed to partnering to prevent unintentional injury of young people. We know that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples of any age are impacted by injury - physical and psychosocial - at a far greater rate than any other group in the community.

Accepting the invitation from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community, as expressed in the Uluru Statement from the Heart, to support a Voice will be a critical step in helping us all address the preventable injury risks that arise from the economic, social, educational and health disadvantages experienced by so many of our nation’s First People.

Injury is the leading cause of death and disability of young people in Australia. (AIHW 2011)

Young drivers constitute 15% of all licence holders while being almost 25% of annual road fatalities.
(Transport for NSW 2022)

On average, every 4 minutes and 24 seconds a young person is injured in an Australian workplace.
(Safe Work Australia 2013)

The rate of sports injury hospitalisations is highest in the 18-24 year age group. (AIHW: Kreisfeld et al. 2014)

In partnership with

Youthsafe partners to prevent the ‘accidental’ injury of young people (14-26 years) where they are most at risk: on roads, in workplaces, playing sport and socialising.

Our evidence-based resources and award-winning face-to-face and online training build the capability of young people and their key adult influencers to achieve safer outcomes.
