Left Right Think Tank, Australia's first independent and non-partisan think-tank of young minds has just announced their Policy Fellowship. The Policy Fellowship is an exclus­ive oppor­tun­ity that allows young people to be involved in pro­du­cing policy in Australia.

The Fellowship con­sists of a series of 12 work­shops that explore the myriad of factors that lead to, and create, change in Australia.

Prominent rep­res­ent­at­ives from gov­ern­ment, the media, non-government organ­is­tions and other key stake­hold­ers guide the ses­sions in con­junc­tion with exper­i­enced Left Right staff.

Operating in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, the Fellowship allows groups of young people in these cities to come together to write a policy vision for an issue they care about.

The prom­in­ence of our organ­isa­tion awards our Fellows with unri­valled ment­or­ship and train­ing oppor­tun­it­ies. Political advisors, heads of depart­ment and policy-specific experts will guide and advise the Fellows through­out the pro­duc­tion of their policy, allow­ing them to for­mu­late cred­ible, hard-hitting and broad-minded recom­mend­a­tions to some of Australia's most press­ing problems.

Our Fellows will engage in rig­or­ous con­sulta­tion and engage­ment with young people across Australia through­out the writing their policy, enabling them to act as a voice for young Australia.

Finally our Fellows will have an oppor­tun­ity to meet with Ministers and shadow Ministers to advoc­ate their policy dir­ectly to government.

The Fellowship con­sists of a series of 12 work­shops that explore the myriad of factors that lead to, and create, change in Australia.

Prominent rep­res­ent­at­ives from gov­ern­ment, the media, non-government organ­is­tions and other key stake­hold­ers guide the ses­sions in con­junc­tion with exper­i­enced Left Right staff.

Operating in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, the Fellowship allows groups of young people in these cities to come together to write a policy vision for an issue they care about.

The prom­in­ence of our organ­isa­tion awards our Fellows with unri­valled ment­or­ship and train­ing oppor­tun­it­ies. Political advisors, heads of depart­ment and policy-specific experts will guide and advise the Fellows through­out the pro­duc­tion of their policy, allow­ing them to for­mu­late cred­ible, hard-hitting and broad-minded recom­mend­a­tions to some of Australia's most press­ing problems.

Our Fellows will engage in rig­or­ous con­sulta­tion and engage­ment with young people across Australia through­out the writing their policy, enabling them to act as a voice for young Australia.

Finally our Fellows will have an oppor­tun­ity to meet with Ministers and shadow Ministers to advoc­ate their policy dir­ectly to government.
