NGADHI Family Services is an Indigenous founded and operated business.
NGADHI (n-yar-di) translates to “me, mine or belonging to me” in Wiradjuri language. What sets us apart from similar organisations is that NGADHI Family Services is a culturally appropriate service and our focus is about connecting with the Indigenous community and maintaining the Indigenous culture.
The report, Child protection Australia 2019–20, shows as at 30 June 2020, there were around 46,000 children in out-of-home care across Australia. Indigenous children continue to be overrepresented with 1 in 6 Indigenous children receiving child protection services.
We want to make a difference to these children, by connecting them with our staff, that have an understanding of the cultural needs of the children. We are passionate about seeing children develop life skills, to reach their full potential. We aspire to create a safe space for the children in our care, that is culturally appropriate, and holistic in approach.
