Shared Responsibility Agreements

Shared Responsibility Agreement

Hope Vale is a remote Cape York community and part of the Cape York Council of Australian Governments (COAG) trial.

There are nine agreed community priorities, including health, housing, crime reduction, governance, employment, and school attendance.

A ‘Statement of Intent’ has been agreed acknowledging that the community’s priorities are interrelated, that responsibility for change is shared, and that parties will work together on addressing agreed priorities.

This is one of the earlier agreements arising out of the COAG trials. It does not include community, family or individual obligations.
