The Miyay Birray Youth Service is a community based, not for profit organisation based in Moree.
Miyay Birray works to support the development of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal young people (between 12 and 18 years). We do this be providing a range of services and by building partnerships within the community between young people, business, organisations, government and educational institutions.
The Miyay Birray Youth Service provides Case Management for young people and families with children 18 years and under. Our case workers support clients in a number of ways depending on what is happening for them at the time. Often a young person will be allocated their own case worker and work with them to develop achievable goals. Clients are welcome to continue to return to case management as they require. Case management aims to help provide young people and their families with the skills necessary to build resilience in order to overcome the barriers in their lives.
Our caseworkers can work with clients who may be experiencing a range of issues including (but not limited to):

Miyay Birray provides a range of recreational, educational and social programs based on specific and important issues relating to young people and their development. Our programs are designed to create opportunities for young people to become more involved in making decisions for themselves, and to have a say within the community in which they are apart of. By doing this, our services equip young people with the confidence to set goals and achieve what may have been considered unachievable.
We take a holistic approach to youth and community development. Young people make positive contacts during the course of our programs with other government and non-government agencies, this provides assistance and support for young people when they need it most.
Our school holiday programs provide recreational and education activities designed to enhance self esteem and personal development.
Every school holiday period we run a range of activities such as:

HIPPY provides your child with a structured, education-focused program that lays the foundations for success at school. You teach your child literacy, numeracy and language skills as well as physical skills so they are school-ready and develop a love of learning that lasts throughout their lives.
HIPPY benefits your child by:
The HIPPY approach is based on evidence that children’s earliest and most powerful learning comes from their family. This evidence shows that encouraging literacy and numeracy in early childhood sets children up for success in learning throughout their lives.
Over two years (in the years before and after starting school), HIPPY children work through weekly or fortnightly packs of play-based, educational activities with their parents and family. They are encouraged to ask questions and try new things, developing their confidence and passion for learning, which enables school-readiness.
You are supported to shape your child’s learning opportunities around their strengths and interests; and to bring learning off the activity pack page and into the world. We call it‘Everywhere Learning’: parents take HIPPY activities to everyday situations or in places, encouraging other family members to get involved.
Team Behind Our Successful Service. These are the reason to get you good service.
