Nambucca Valley Youth Services acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as Australia’s First Peoples and Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live.
We recognise that Gumbaynggirr people have a continuing connection to this land, its waters and community. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and are committed to making a positive contribution to the wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people by providing services that are welcoming, safe and culturally appropriate.
