ACYS announces its latest information package called Face the facts, developed in response to the need for policy- and decision-makers to have information on emerging trends in the youth sector.

Each package includes the Snapshot – a short, sharp overview of the issues and the facts that you need to have at hand, and the Briefing – an in-depth analysis of the factors involved, policy implications, and a breakdown of what lies ahead for that issue.

The first edition is Youth disability, highlighting key statistics, policy problems and development opportunities relevant to youth and disability today. This is a particularly topical issue given current efforts to establish a national organisation to represent young people with disability, and the Australian Government’s recent decision to implement the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
