After months of planning, long nights, tears, determination and unwavering passion — Golalbi-gan and Goodjoo are incredibly proud to announce the official launch of Youth Housing With a Purpose.
This isn’t just a milestone for Golalbi-gan Pty Ltd — it’s a historic moment for our Townsville community. It's a storyline that will forever be etched in my families storybook.
As the first private, locally owned and operated, grassroots Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residential care service in Townsville, we are not only breaking barriers — we’re creating a new pathway for what culturally safe, community-led care can look like in a new space.
Youth Housing With a Purpose is more than a program — it’s a statement.
A statement that First Nations-led solutions work.
A statement that our young people deserve housing, healing, and hope — grounded in culture, connection and community. All while being led by local grassroots mob for mob.
I want to extend my deepest thanks and heartfelt gratitude to every single person who has supported Golalbi-gan since day one. Whether you’ve walked beside us, backed us quietly, or simply believed in the vision — this is your win too.
We are only scraping the surface of what’s possible. There is so much more to come, and we can’t wait to share this next chapter with you all.
This is the beginning. Only just over 12 months in and as our vision and purpose says, we aim to nurture and strengthen the bond and connection First Nations people have with their family, culture and community and empower First Nations people to shape their own narratives. This is where it starts.
Let’s keep building. Let’s keep rising. Let’s keep walking with purpose.
