Nathan is in his mid twenties, and lives in Frankston, southeast of Melbourne. His first association with BSL was as a participant in the Transition to Work program, and he has since taken up a role serving as a Youth Advisor, working with both BSL and the National Youth Employment Body (NYEB). After being invited to be a panellist at the 2022 Jobs and Skills Summit, Nathan has continued his work discussing and advising on issues that impact young people around Australia. Nathan believes young people should be treated more equally and would like more young people to have the chance for their voices to be heard. He has represented these voices in a range of forums, including as a co-host at last year’s Sambell Oration, and most recently attending the swearing in of Australia’s new Governor-General, Sam Mostyn. Nathan is studying for a Cert IV in Youth Work.
