To further assist families in the Shire the Council provides a number of services, including a Toy Library, Neighbourhood Centre, Early intervention Family Worker and a Youth Worker.
The Gwydir Shire places a strong focus on learning and has been working for a number of years to increase the opportunities for learning in the community. With a strong base of excellent education facilities including Pre-Schools, Public Schools, Catholic Schools, TAFE outreach centres and Vocational Education programs this aim is being achieved.
