The Young Australian Democrats believe that Australia's future as a vibrant and inclusive democracy depends on establishing habits of active participation in the whole community, particularly among young people. Our objective is to engage young people in democratic institutions and processes and believe that participation in democracy should extend beyond simply casting a vote.

The Democrats are the only party in Australia seriously committed to the involvement of young people in politics. We say No to nuclear power, Yes to fairer Industrial Relations legislation.
We want to affect change on a broad range of environmental issues, including Climate Change and Renewable Energy. We are fiercely committed to protecting the democratic process, in particular protecting the Senate from abuse by the other parties.
Most importantly we are working for a fair and just society.
