The Generation Brief is an independent brand promoting civic engagement among young Australians — deliberately distinct from government bodies. We focus on bringing policy to young people, rather than bringing young people to policy.
That's a two-sided idea. On one side, we deliver digestible, accessible, aesthetically engaging policy content to everyday young Australians — no jargon, no gatekeeping, no paywall. On the other, we give them a platform to write, to be published, and to be taken seriously.
Independent journalism written to bring the debates that shape their future to young Australians — credible enough to cite, readable enough to actually finish.
A submission portal, a byline, and a credibility system that lets any young Australian write about the issues they know first-hand — and be read.
We keep data collection minimal and the site free — no paywall, no ads once you've made an account, and we don't currently sell or monetise your data.
We use AI tools to help build and maintain this website. Every article, however, is written and edited by the young Australian whose byline appears on it — AI doesn't write or rewrite our journalism.
