Have Your Say: Youth Justice in NSW

Updated March 2026 — EPIC has now submitted our formal input to the NSW Select Committee on Youth Justice.

Parents and carers deserve to be heard. Not only during inquiries, but always. EPIC is committed to ensuring families’ experiences shape youth justice reform in NSW.

EPIC’s Submission to the NSW Select Committee on Youth Justice

Submitted March 2026

EPIC has now provided a formal submission to the NSW Select Committee on Youth Justice, drawing on the voices and experiences shared by parents and carers.

Ongoing Parent & Carer Survey (Always Open)

Your voice matters every day, not just when Parliament is listening.

We invite parents and carers to continue sharing their experiences with the youth justice system. Your insights help EPIC advocate for:

• Family‑inclusive policy

• Better information‑sharing

• Navigation support

• Peer support for parents and carers

This survey is now permanently open. Your responses will continue to inform EPIC’s advocacy, research, and future submissions.

Safety & choice:

• You can skip any question

• Share only what feels safe

• Anonymous unless you choose to add your details

• Takes 10–15 minutes (with an optional long‑form story section)

About the Select Committee on Youth Justice
