Wallis Social Research at GSR26: Amplifying Youth Voices on Digital Lives
Wallis Social Research is pleased to support The Research Society Government and Social Research Conference 2026 (GSR26), where Luke Starick (Wallis) and Jackie Coates (Telstra Foundation) will present insights from the Australian Youth Digital Index—a national snapshot of how young Australians experience technology, including access, skills and online safety.
Their session, Amplifying Youth Voices on Digital Lives, explores what young people say about their digital world and how research can drive practical action across policy and services.
