The Young Nationals, is the youth-division of the National Party of Australia, and membership is open to those between 16 and 30 years of age. Young Nationals also have full party-membership, and partake in state and federal conferences with equal rights to members of the senior party. They are active in National Party campaigning during all state and federal elections.

The movement is predominantly organised on the state division level, with each state organising its own events and policy and electing its own executive.
