2022 ABC Heywire Trailblazers

"ABC Heywire is proud to announce and celebrate the winners of the 2022 Trailblazers program.

A new generation of changemakers are busy making regional Australia an even better place.

Trailblazers is an opportunity for anyone aged between 18 to 28 who is driving positive social change projects in their regional communities and would like to see their work celebrated nationally.

These young people have big plans for the futures of their projects and the impact they hope they'll each have on their corner of Australia, from knowledge sharing between farmers to prevent the loss of intergenerational wisdom to creating more career opportunities to keep young people in the regions and empowering the next generation of young engineers through coding and robotics.

The Director of ABC Regional & Local, Judith Whelan, said this year's Trailblazers' cohort once again showed the depth of talent that existed amongst young people living in regional Australia."
