Who are we?

"Having worked with young people who have offending behaviours from 13 – 17 years we recognise that holistic supports need to be put in place earlier to support the child and the family."

What are we doing?

Ngura-gu Yana (Come to the Camp)

Ngura-gu Yana (Come to the Camp) will create culturally safe community spaces to benefit 7-13 year old Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people (C/YP) who are disconnected from community, displaying risky behaviour or have been in contact with the justice system. Our early intervention programs are effective in supporting C/YP to change their life course. We understand that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work and that it takes a connected community to raise a child. We also know that often C/YP can’t live at home and have nowhere to go, putting them at high risk of offending. Ngara-gu Yana answers this by providing temporary housing close to existing resources and Elders, Aunties, Uncles and peers and community.
