Birth dates for non-Australian born young people
This new Centre for Multicultural Youth Issues (CMYI) information sheet provides some context for workers who are supporting a young person whose documented or ‘official’ date of birth is different from their actual date of birth.
The sheet includes information about why young people arrive in Australia with different dates of birth on their official documentation, what the implications of this are in terms of settlement and services, and some tips for supporting a young person through the process if changing their documented date of birth.
