🎉 Help Us Refresh Youth Work WA Memberships

As Youth Work WA approaches 20 years of supporting, connecting, and advocating for youth workers across Western Australia, we’re taking the opportunity to refresh our membership records.

Over the years, many people have changed roles, organisations, or moved into different areas of the sector. To ensure our membership list remains current and reflects those who want to stay connected, we’re inviting members to renew their registration.

If you haven’t completed a membership registration within the last two years, or you’re unsure if your membership is current, please take a few minutes to register again and update your details.

📅 Membership renewals close on 30 June 2026.

After this date, memberships that have not been renewed will no longer be considered active, and a new application will be required to rejoin.

Refreshing our records will help us strengthen communication with the sector and ensure members continue receiving updates, opportunities, events, and information relevant to youth work in WA.

🔗 Renew your membership link in comments

💡 We recommend using your personal email address so your membership remains with you throughout your career, regardless of where you work.

Thank you for being part of the Youth Work WA community.

Today Youth Work WA brought practitioners from 6 organisations together for Code of Ethics training.

Great youth work does not happen by accident. It is built on shared values, professional standards, and a sector that holds itself accountable.

Huge thanks to our facilitators who volunteer their time to make moments like this possible. This is what sector development looks like in practice.

Youth Week 2026 has officially arrived!

Across Western Australia, young people are showing strength, creativity, and resilience in ways that shape their communities every day.

This week is a chance to recognise their voices, their stories, and the impact they have, often in ways that go unseen. From small wins to big moments, it all matters.

It’s also a reminder that when young people are given space to be heard, supported, and included, real change happens.

To every young person across WA, your voice matters. Your story matters. And your future matters.
