Summary Information:
The Sarina 'Giving Young People a Future' Shared Responsibility Agreement (SRA) was made between the Indigenous Community of Sarina, all levels of government and local businesses to devise an Economic Participation Strategy. 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.
