Youth Studies Australia is a quarterly, peer reviewed journal published in print and online by the Australian Clearinghouse for Youth Studies (ACYS)

Youth Studies Australia focuses on the issues affecting Australians from early adolescence to young adulthood.

It provides readers with interdisciplinary, research-based information and analysis on subjects such as education, training, health, housing, juvenile justice, employment, culture and subcultures. Aimed at practitioners, researchers, policy-makers and workers in the youth field, each issue contains five to six peer-reviewed articles, as well as summaries of recent press reports, and abstracts of selected scholarly articles relevant to youth studies. The journal is also accessible and relevant to senior secondary students.
