Taldumande Youth Services

Taldumande Youth Services is a youth homelessness service in New South Wales, Australia, founded in 1976.[1]

"Taldumande" is an Aboriginal word meaning "refuge."[1]

Founding of Yfoundations

In 1976, Taldumande along with Young People's Refuge and Caretakers Cottage, and other early NSW youth refuges, founded Yfoundations, a peak body organisation, to represent youth refuges to government.[2][3]

Going Home Staying Home

Following the NSW Government's "Going Home Staying Home" reforms to the homelessness sector, Taldumande Youth Services joined a partnership with Mission Australia and contracted with the state to provide services in the northern Sydney region.[4] Following the reforms, Taldumande expanded its service.[5]

gollark: You can either have a shortage with some random subset of very fast people able to buy them, or have scalpers at least make it possible for people to get GPUs urgently by throwing money at it
gollark: Complaining about scalpers is just going after the obvious issues and ignoring the fact that *there are not enough GPUs*.
gollark: It might lead to more expensive GPUs in the long run due to increased segmentation killing the second hand market.
gollark: Scalpers only exist because demand outstrips supply. Due to mining and shortages.
