2023 Campbelltown Youth Survey
In 2023, 623 young people aged between 12 and 25 years of age participated in a survey for young people who live, work, study or play in the Campbelltown City Council area. This survey is a snapshot into the lives of young people in Campbelltown.
The 2023 survey was preceded by a survey in 2019 which had 600 responses. At the time the 2023 survey took place, the young people who participated in the 2019 Campbelltown Youth Survey would be four years older and in a different stage of their journey through adolescence or young adulthood. In addition to this, in the four years since the 2019 survey took place, the world has experienced a global pandemic which impacted the way we navigate the world and day-to-day significantly.
There were some minor changes to refine the survey, however for the most part, the 2023 survey replicated the 2019 survey to provide opportunity to compare and observe if there were any significant changes in responses between the two surveys.
The Campbelltown Youth Survey was created taking into consideration identified gaps in our knowledge of young people in the area as well as the principles of Child Friendly Campbelltown and the Australian Research Alliance for Children and Youth Common Approach Wellbeing Wheel. The survey was developed and tested in consultation with young people including Members of the Campbelltown Youth Advisory Committee and Campbelltown Youth Crew.
