Glen Waverley young person named ABC program winner

Published on 25 November 2021

Congratulations to 16-year-old Glen Waverley resident Rosie, who has been named one of 29 winners in this year's ABC Takeover Melbourne competition.

Now in its second year, the Takeover Melbourne initiative is run by the ABC with major partner VicHealth and support from the City of Melbourne and the Centre for Multicultural Youth.

Takeover is about showcasing the voices of young Melburnians and helping them shape the future of their city.

Rosie was named the Monash winner with her story ‘Informed care helped me deal with mental illness and recover from trauma'.

You can read and listen to Rosie's story at the ABC website.

The Takeover Melbourne winners will be showcased across the ABC throughout November and December. They will also be celebrated at a gala event in early 2022.

Council is proud to support the Takeover Melbourne program.
