Project Advisory Groups

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Project Advisory Group

We have established an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Project Advisory Group to help shape and guide our research methods and objectives. This group consists of key Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stakeholders who work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth from around the country. This group is vital to the successful completion of the project. Ms Tanja Hirvonen, Director of Wellbeing, the Healing Foundation, is the chair of the WM2Youth Project Advisory Group.

The WM2Youth Project Advisory Group first met in March 2021, and will continue to meet both face-to-face and via Zoom, four times a year.
