CHIEF MINISTER FOR THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

Question No 416

Youth Organisations Research and Development Program

MRS CARNELL - Asked the Chief Minister upon notice on 17 November 1992:

In relation to the 16 projects funded through the Youth Organisations Research and Development Grant during 1991-92

(1) Which projects were funded.

(2) How much funding was provided to each project.

(3) Which organisations received this funding.

(4) What are the outcomes of each project, and how has it benefited the community.

MS FOLLETT- The answer to the members question is as follows (the information is presented under headings relating to the organisation funded for each project):

The Youth Organisations Research and Development (YORAD) Program provides grants of up to $10 000 to organisations to undertake research and development projects of relevance to young people. Benefits of the projects are therefore geared towards young people and the youth sector rather than towards the wider community.

NATIONAL YOUTH AFFAIRS RESEARCH SCHEME (NYARS)

(1) NYARS is a national scheme which commissions research into youth issues. All States and Territories contribute annually to the scheme.

(2) $3000

(3) NYARS

(4) In 1991/92 research projects commissioned through NYARS included the "National Youth Profile" and the "ACT Youth Profile", documents produced by the Australian Bureau of Statistics which provide up to date and accurate information on young people both across Australia and within the ACT.
