The Mission Australia Youth Survey is the largest annual survey of young people in Australia. Now in its 21st year, the Youth Survey aims to identify the values, aspirations and issues of concern to young people. The Youth Survey was developed by Mission Australia to amplify the voices and experiences of young people so that young people have a say in decisions that will affect their future.

In 2022, 18,800 young people across Australia, aged 15 to 19 years participated in the Youth Survey.

The 2022 Youth Survey sought to capture the experiences and perspectives of young people on a broad range of issues as well as collecting valuable socio-demographic data. Topics covered by the survey include education and employment, barriers to achieving study and work goals, personal and national concerns, impact of COVID-19, general wellbeing, sources of support and barriers to receiving support, community connection and housing and homelessness.
