The Yindyamarra Aboriginal Services is a registered business Auspiced by Life Beyond Barriers Inc, under the Charity regulation Act (ACNC) .

Life Beyond Barriers Inc was approached by the group in August 2021 to offer support to their service for Rural NSW and had supported them in Dec 2020 with Christmas presents.

Yindyamarra Aboriginal Services is operated by Traditional Owner Aunty Rhonda Towney from Peak Hill, as the Area Operations Co-Ordinator, and the program is overseen by our Board Director - David Towney.

The service is run on a volunteer model that was created by Aunty Rhonda Towney to create more support for the rural Communities over the Covid period and has continued to grow with the support of the communities.

Aunty Rhonda Towney identified the lack of service delivery within the Aboriginal Communities and the importance of overcoming the Gap. With the assistance of Volunteers, her son- David Towney, and key partners ( Life Beyond Barriers inc, Second Bite, Foodbank, and PCYC- NSW Police) it has supported the community every week with food, meals, essential items, Clothing, and the Bush Christmas and Winter Appeal.

Aunty Rhonda Towney and her Volunteer team have continued to work tirelessly every week to cater to over 200 families in Peak Hill, Dubbo, Wellington, Condo, Broken Hill, and Walgett communities.

Life Beyond Barriers Inc Board of Directors has approved the Auspicing of the Yindyamarra Aboriginal Service from Dec 10th, 2021, in the hope to support their organisation further, assisting with funding applications, and building a stronger and supported community.
