The Australian Youth and Health Foundation is a public company, created in 1985, as the new form of the Youth Welfare Association of Australia (YWAA). In 2012 the Australian Youth and Health Foundation was based in Surry Hills, Sydney.
The YWAA was originally founded by Leslie Owen Bailey, a lingerie manufacturer and natural health enthusiast who devised the Hopewood Experiment to raise 86 babies in a controlled environment at Hopewood House in Bowral. The Australian Youth and Health Foundation continued Bailey’s work of promoting ‘natural living’ and providing care for children. Early board members included businessmen, who later moved into property development.
The Australian Youth Foundation appears to have provided education and leadership for young people. In 1999 it formed a partnership with the Queen’s Trust to provide leadership, education and mentoring to young people, under the name of the Foundation for Young Australians
The Australian Youth and Health Foundation is still operating. It has no website or public contact details.
