The Geelong council has invited young people to make their voice heard, with the City opening its 2025 Geelong Youth Survey.

People aged 12 to 25, parents, carers, people who work in education and interested community members can complete a five-minute online survey to share their experiences and insights about the key issues facing young people in the region.

The information provided by respondents, who may remain anonymous, will be used to help the City form youth policies going forward.

Young people who participate can also go into the draw for prizes including a Nintendo Switch, Apple iPad, Kindle, speakers, headphones and Westfield gift cards.

Geelong mayor Stretch Kontelj encouraged community members to have their say.

“Whether you’re a young person, involved in education or caring for young people, we want to hear from you,” Mayor Kontelj said.

“This survey only takes five minutes to complete and will help us to ensure we provide the right supports that align with young people’s priorities.”

Youth Council junior mayor Ayush Singh said the survey offered an easy way for young people to communicate with the council.

“Filling out the youth survey is a great way to share your opinion and have a chance to win exciting prizes,” Mr Singh said.

“It only takes a few minutes of your time, and your responses will be a huge help to our council.”
