Youth Week 2025 ambassador Daisy Pilsworth represents voice of Pilbara young people

Paraburdoo’s Daisy Pilsworth will represent the voices of young people in the Pilbara as a Youth Week 2025 ambassador.

The 19-year-old is a special needs education assistant in the region, where she supports young students in consultation with teachers, parents and professionals.

“I get to work with some really special kids who just brighten my day — I spend the day with the biggest smile on my face,” Ms Pilsworth said.

“Sometimes there are tricky parts, but watching kids get over hurdles and being part of that is really rewarding.”

Ms Pilsworth is passionate about representing the voices of young people living remotely and has been a regional member of the Youth Parliament over the last two years. She has also been involved in several advisory groups and committees.

“Both years I’ve represented regional, so in my first year in 2023 I represented Bunbury, which is where I was born and raised.

“This year, I represented the Pilbara as I’m now living in Paraburdoo. I was also on the child protection committee, and we worked on foster care reform to ensure that foster carers have training to work with children who have been traumatised.”

Youth Week 2025 will be launched in the Pilbara in the City of Karratha with a special opening event to kickstart a week of celebrations across the State from April 10 to 17.

“Having the launch in Karratha highlights how desperately we need young people in the regions to have the same experiences and engagement as our peers in the metropolitan areas,” Ms Pilsworth said.

‘We’re passionate, we’re creative, we’re diverse and we deserve our voices to be heard and our perspectives to be heard just as much as those living in Perth.”
