The Ministry for Youth, Wellbeing and the Implementation of the Electoral Programme
The objective of the Ministry for Youth, Wellbeing and the Implementation of the Electoral Programme is to empower present and future generations to realise their full potential and contribute actively to society. Through a whole-of-life approach, the Ministry seeks to enhance the wellbeing, resilience, participation and quality of life of individuals, families and communities, while ensuring that young people are equipped with the opportunities, skills, values and support necessary to thrive.
Young people must be enabled to develop their personal and social potential and participate fully in civic, economic and community life.
