About the Gamilaraay Early Learning Hub

Yaama Gamilaraay! is a project based in Gunnedah to support the reclamation of the Gamilaraay language.


From 2018 we have been funded by the New South Wales Department of Education’s Ninganah No More early childhood education and care program. We started in Gunnedah and from 2023 we have been a designated Language Hub to support early childhood centres around the region. 
If you are interested in your centre being part of this project, please contact the program Manager Renee Houldsworth at reneeh@winanga-li.org.au, or Winanga-Li's CEO Wayne Griffiths ceo@winang-li.org.au
