The youth sector in Tasmania includes a number of regional groups, issues based groups and YNOT sub-committees, all of which play important roles in disseminating information, consulting with stakeholders, and facilitating communication and coordination in the sector.
This section of the site brings together information from these coordinating groups.
The Regional Groups
The effective coordination of the youth sector in Tasmania is greatly enhanced by the activities of three autonomous regional groups and a number of local groups. The regional groups preceded the development of YNOT, and have formed the foundation on which YNOT has built its state-wide coordination mechanism.

North West Action for Youth (NWAY) is supported and resourced by the Burnie City Council, Deveonport City Council and is hosted by the municipalities across the region.

As we develop this site we intend to include more information on the activities of the regional and local groups. If you would like your information included, please contact the YNOT Office Administrator at admin@ynot.org.au
