Education, Employment and Youth Affairs—Standing Committee
Statement by chair
MR PETTERSSON (Yerrabi) (5.06): Pursuant to standing order 246A, I wish to make a statement on behalf of the Standing Committee on Education, Employment and Youth Affairs. Pursuant to standing order 216, I advise the Assembly that at a private meeting on 17 December 2019, the committee resolved to conduct an inquiry into youth mental health in the ACT.
Youth services falls within the resolution of establishment of this committee; however, mental health is within the resolution of establishment for the Assembly’s Standing Committee on Health, Ageing and Community Services. Noting this inquiry’s crossover between committee resolutions, agreement was sought and received from the HACS committee to proceed with this inquiry topic.
The committee will inquire into and report on the state of youth—under 25 years of age—mental health and operation of youth mental health services across the ACT. The committee will focus on the ACT’s current approach to prevention and early intervention strategies and services for youth mental health and addiction, supports available through ACT schools, and family-based prevention.
The terms of reference for this inquiry will be published on the committee website. The committee will today call for public submissions, with a closing date of Friday, 20 March 2020.
