Shared Responsibility Agreements

Shared Responsibility Agreement

In Tennant Creek, Aboriginal Elders are keen to restore respect for their traditional country and people. For the first time they are working together with non-Indigenous people in Tennant Creek to improve safety and justice in the town.

Through this SRA, governments will jointly fund the establishment of an Elders Council and associated activities such as planning, community consultation and media promotion.

Council members will work with both Indigenous and non-Indigenous community members and help with policing, the justice system, education and other activities that will contribute to community harmony and safety.
