Organisation Information:
The Youth Advisory Council is a group of young people who want to make the public health system better for young people in Waitaha. They believe there is plentiful room for improvement in the youth sector of the health system, particularly addressing the lack of representation for 12-24 year olds. Te Whatu Ora Waitaha Youth Advisory Council consists of members from all walks of life who have their own experiences in the health system and a shared drive to listen, advocate and improve it for the next generation of rangatahi. The group gathers monthly to meet, share food, good banter, and work on ideas and mahi for their projects.
