Muru Nanga Mai

The Yura Ngalaya Community Support Service and the Family Healing Project are delivered by Muru Nanga Mai - a welcoming place that offers support and advice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Those needing help to access the services they require can drop in for a chat, or make an appointment to arrange a longer time to talk and ask questions. We also have a page on Facebook where you can find more information on any upcoming events or training we will be hosting. 

Muru Nanga Mai has developed strong relationships within our community and can refer people to a range of mainstream and Aboriginal services dealing with issues such as health care, income support, housing, employment, education, child care, counselling and legal services. Free use of the internet is also available.

But Muru Nanga Mai's vision stretches beyond being an information and referral service. It is ‘our dreaming place' - a place of healing where indigenous culture thrives and the journey to a more positive future begins.

Groups for indigenous men, women and young people are key elements of the Family Healing Project. This holistic healing program is working towards achieving social and emotional wellbeing for the entire Aboriginal community.
