The New South Wales Association for Adolescent Health (NAAH) is the peak body committed to promoting the health and well-being of young people aged 12-25. We are a membership organisation, representing individuals and organisations that work directly with young people around health and well being. We work closely with the State's Youth Health Services and with the Centre for the Advancement of Adolescent Health. Most of our work focuses on Youth Health Sector support and training, government liaison and lobbying, policy and resource development and community sector networking. The Association is a membership organisation. With over 100 members - both individuals and organisations, the Association is able to speak with authority and knowledge on Youth Health Issues in NSW.
