YMCA amalgamation in Northern Territory

After decades of operating as individual entities, YMCAs in the Northern Territory have amalgamated into a single organisation - the YMCA of the Northern Territory.

The new company brings together the three YMCAs in the Northern Territory to, according to a YMCA statement “provide services and impact communities across the whole of the Territory (while making) for a stronger more sustainable organisation.”

The statement on the YMCA website advises “we understand that to play our role in building Happy, Healthy Communities, we have to be effective, efficient and sustainable.​

“We now have an enhanced capacity to partner, with Government, business and charities. We have a bigger brand footprint and potential to impact across the Territory.

“With stronger governance (including formal community representation from each region) and better staff and volunteer support thanks to enhanced training, policies and processes, we have the opportunity to regenerate the Y in the Territory, with new volunteer and staff positions and new expertise onboard.

“Government funded programs and policy will now be delivered across the Territory, not just Darwin centric and service delivery will become a key focus for us. We have the ability to address Territory wide social issues and will offer high quality and sustainable service delivery, targeted to specific communities.”
