The Australian Young Greens, commonly referred to as the Young Greens, is a federation of Young Greens groups from each Australian state and territory. Collectively, they form the youth wing of the Australian Greens, representing members aged 30 and under.
The group and its related state and territory divisions are a recruiting platform for the party and are often involved in activism on various youth-related issues. It is officially regarded to be a working group of the Australian Greens. It is underpinned by the four Greens pillars of ecological sustainability, social justice, grassroots democracy, and peace and non-violence.
Notable members of the group have included Senator Jordon Steele-John and Stephen Bates, two of the youngest current members of the Australian Parliament. The Australian Young Greens is a member of the Global Young Greens.
