The Youth Coalition also makes responses to a variety of inquiries and reviews throughout the year. These review are often initiated by government and aim to improve current legislation, policy or practice. As these changes will often impact on either young people or those who work with them, we attempt to ensure that any changes are beneficial to young people.

Some of the inquiries and reviews we have participated in include:
