Commission on Excellence and Innovation in Health

Apply to join the Youth Advisory Group

07 May 2026

The Com­mis­sion on Excel­lence and Inno­va­tion in Health (CEIH) is invit­ing expres­sions of inter­est for young peo­ple to join our Youth Advi­so­ry Group.

About the YAG

The Youth Advi­so­ry Group (YAG) brings young peo­ple togeth­er to share their expe­ri­ences of using health­care ser­vices.

The group helps ensure the voic­es of young South Aus­tralians are heard and used to improve health­care ser­vices and out­comes. This is espe­cial­ly impor­tant when young peo­ple are mov­ing from children’s to adult health ser­vices.

By lis­ten­ing to young people’s lived expe­ri­ence, the YAG helps shape health­care so it is more youth friend­ly, inclu­sive and eas­i­er to nav­i­gate.

The YAG is sup­port­ed by the CEIH and the Ado­les­cent Tran­si­tion Care Statewide Clin­i­cal Net­work.

Who can join?

We are look­ing for young peo­ple aged 12 to 25 years who:

  • have expe­ri­ence using health ser­vices, poten­tial­ly includ­ing mov­ing from children’s to adult care
  • care about improv­ing health­care expe­ri­ences for young people
  • are hap­py to share their expe­ri­ences and ideas to help shape improve­ments to health­care services
  • are open to work­ing with oth­er young peo­ple, clin­i­cians and CEIH staff
  • can take part in meet­ings, work­ing groups and project activities.

What to expect

YAG mem­bers can expect:

  • to spend around 3 to 6 hours per month on work relat­ed to the group, includ­ing a month­ly two hour meeting
  • most meet­ings to be held online, with some in person
  • sup­port for acces­si­bil­i­ty needs, includ­ing bring­ing a car­er or sup­port per­son if needed
