| Summary Information: | ||
| The Wilora 'Better Health and Education' Shared Responsibility Agreement (SRA) was signed between the Northern Territory and Commonwealth governments and the Wilora community. Wilora is located 26 kilometres south of Tennant Creek, and is served by a health clinic, a women's centre and a primary school. The SRA will provide a community centre to raise health and education standards in the area. Shared Responsibility Agreements are agreements between governments and Indigenous communities to provide discretionary funding in return for community obligations. The new arrangements developed from an initiative of the Council of Australian Governments and replace the previous ATSIC system of funding. For more information see 'Shared Responsibility Agreement' below. | ||

Another contributor to this SRA is the Stirling School at Wilora, which will provide a venue for both school and community activities, and record student participation and attendance.
