What is the YAC and how can I get involved?

The Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) is a group of local young people aged 15–25 who contribute youth perspectives to Council decision-making in the City of Port Phillip.

The YAC meets fortnightly and offers members training and upskilling throughout their term. Members are actively consulted by Council departments on policies, programs and initiatives affecting young people, lead community projects, and will co-design and help deliver the 2026 Youth Summit.

We are seeking passionate young people with diverse experiences and perspectives and encourage anyone interested to apply. Applicants must live, study or can demonstrate a strong connection in the City of Port Phillip.

Applications for the 2026 Youth Advisory Committee are now open.
