WSLHD Youth Health Annual Report

Young people aged 12-24 years make up approximately 16% of the population in Western Sydney Local Health District (WSLHD). Many young people living in western Sydney experience good health and wellbeing, accessing primary and specialist (community and inpatient) health care on an as-needs basis. However, this is not the case for all young people, particularly for those who are members of priority populations, who often experience barriers to accessing the right health care at the right time.
