Ganbina Education Training & Employment Achievement Awards

Ganbina was established in 1997, to represent the Indigenous community in the Goulburn Valley. It is recognized that for young people to succeed in the Shepparton and Mooroopna area, they face significant barriers. Additionally, they carry the burden of being leaders and role models.

Ganbina has established awards in the areas of education, training and employment to acknowledge the achievements and efforts of some of these individuals and to encourage them on their journey's forward.

Who can apply? The Ganbina Achievement Awards are open to:

• young people of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent
• less than 25 years old
• from the Shepparton or Mooroopna area
• who are currently in fulltime education, training or paid employment in 2004
