How does Rosie help teens?

Since 2013, Rosie has been a go-to resource for teens. Through our digital platform (relaunching in 2024) users can:

• Ask Rosie: submit questions to our team

• Share their voice: contribute to our emerging writers program (paid opportunity)

• Self educate: read and share hundreds of articles and glossaries on key topics

• Seek help: we encourage young people to connect with support services such as free sexual health clinics, mental health services, and more

Rosie is a supportive and considered voice in the digital landscape, providing young people with key info relevant to their lives.

We seek to:

• connect with young women across Australia aged 13-20

• provide an antidote to forces which undermine young people’s self confidence

• support young people in all their diversity to use their voice for social good

• provide up-to-date, well-researched and empowering info resources for teens
