About Youth Work NSW

Youth Work NSW is the newly established professional association for youth workers in New South Wales. Our primary purpose is to support youth work as a profession, ensuring that young people have access to ethical, skilled and committed youth workers.

Opportunities for Youth Workers

We create opportunities for youth workers to organise and to share their knowledge and experience, we bring together key resources to uphold and elevate our practice, and we work together with others to make NSW a better, fairer place for young people.
