The Commissioner for Children and Young People Ambassador Program is aimed at providing opportunities for the state's young people to learn about, discuss, and contribute their ideas to address issues important to them.

Commissioner for Children and Young People Leanne McLean said the program consisted of about 200 members aged nine to 17 years old from across the state.

About half of the state's 200 ambassadors were at Friday's event at the Launceston Conference Centre.

Ambassadors Kate Hynes, Dieter Linden, and Joe Birch said it was a great opportunity to help make a difference and share their views.

"I've never seen such a good initiative," Joe said. "We get to be youth advocates for Tasmania."

"It feels a privilege to have that say and have the time to step out of your comfort zone and listen to the views of younger people."

Key issues identified included education, equality and diversity, climate change, bullying and mental health, safety, and access to services and support.

The ambassadors were given the opportunity to participate in an interactive panel discussion with representatives from the state government, Labor, and Greens.

On Friday, the state government also announced the inaugural Premier's Youth Advisory Council.

Premier Will Hodgman said the council would be comprised of people aged 12 to 25, with expressions of interest to be opened soon.

"It will provide an invaluable opportunity for the Tasmanian Government to hear the voices, concerns and ideas of young people from diverse backgrounds, ages and communities on issues and policies affecting them," he said.

"The council also complements the important work of the Commissioner for Children and Young People, and the Youth Network of Tasmania through both the CCYP Ambassador program and YNOT's Tasmanian Youth Forum program."

The first meeting is planned for December.
