Life Skills Survey

Life Skills Survey

Are you aged 16-24 (or know someone who is) and want to be part of something that will help young people in New South Wales?

The NSW Office for Regional Youth are working on an exciting project with the Department of Customer Service to help young people make sense of becoming an adult.

In their Life Skills survey, they want to find out what ‘adulting’ skills are important to you and how confident you feel about them.

The survey should take about 10 minutes to complete. Remember, there are no right or wrong answers, they just want your opinion.

Make your voice heard by 13 September 2023.

Have your say on changes to rental laws in NSW 

Do you live in, rent out or manage a rental property in NSW? The NSW Government is now seeking feedback about changes to rental laws. The changes aim to deliver on the NSW Government’s key election commitments to improve the renting experience. 

Share your views on changes that would require a reason to terminate a lease, make it easier for renters to keep pets, protect renters’ personal information and privacy and make it easier to transfer rental bonds from one property to another, as well as other ways to make the system fairer.

Have your say by 5pm Friday, 11 August 2023

Visit haveyoursay.nsw.gov.au/improving-nsw-rental-laws to have your say by completing a survey. You can also find out more information.
