Please share this important opportunity for young Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islanders to be part of the QATSICPP Solid Voices Youth Council.
About QATSICPP
Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Child Protection Peak (QATSICPP) is the peak body representing thirty-eight (38) Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled child protection organisations across the state. QATSICPP’s vision is that all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people are physically, emotionally and spiritually strong, live in safe and caring environment within their own families and communities, and are afforded the same life opportunities available to all children and young people to achieve their full potential.
Solid Voices Youth Council
QATSICPP is committed to recognising and elevating the knowledge and self-determination of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people. To further this commitment, QATSICPP employed a First Nations Youth Policy Officer at the beginning of 2024 to develop and lead the Solid Voices Youth Council. The Solid Voices Youth Council will consist of seven Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people recruited directly from member organisations. Council members will be selected from across the state, with a focus on bringing together young people with diverse experiences and perspectives. Together, QATSICPP and the Solid Voices Youth Council will amplify the voices of children and young people across the state, grow our young leaders for tomorrow and work together to make sure that services, policies, and systems work for our children and young people now and into the future.
