For Participants and Families

Ganbina is here to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people in the Goulburn Valley to achieve your education, employment and training goals.

Why Join Ganbina?

Ganbina is an Aboriginal operated and led organisation that has been supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, young people and their families since 1997.

We are here every step of the way, to help you to get the most out of your school education, to plan a career of your choice, and guide you to get the right training to do what you want to do when you leave school.

Ganbina’s really good at encouraging me. They give me lots of opportunities to succeed in the academic field.
