Youth Affairs Council Victoria (YACVic) serves as the central policy voice for young people and the youth sector in Victoria, operating as an independent, for-purpose organization. It works with and for its members to influence policy and drive changes that affect young people and youth workers. The organization frames its mission around advancing social justice for young people, with a focus on those who experience disadvantage or marginalization. Based in Melbourne, Victoria, YACVic positions itself within the public policy field as a mid-sized organization dedicated to policy development and advocacy on behalf of its constituents. Its core work concentrates on defending the rights of young people to participate, be seen, and be valued in their communities. In August 2025, YACVic announced a revised Code of Ethical Practice for the Victorian Youth Sector alongside a Strategic Plan for 2025–2028, marking an important governance and strategy update.
