AUSTRALIAN YOUTH-LED COALITION
Bringing together Australian youth-led organisations to shape our technological future on our own terms.
MEET OUR COALITION MEMBERS
WHY WE EXIST
The next generation shaping tech policy.
Technology touches almost every issue young people care about from our climate to our democracy. We are also the first generation to grow up online. But decisions about our technological future are still being made without us in the room.
The Our Tech, Our Terms Coalition brings together youth-led organisations from across Australia. Our members already lead on climate action, mental health, gender equality and more. Together, we’re bringing that expertise into the national conversation on technology policy, so the people most affected by it have a say in how it’s governed.
“Young people are not passive beneficiaries waiting to inherit the future. They are rights holders and partners who must help design it, together with other generations.”
