| Summary Information: | ||
| The Bayulu Community has signed a Shared Responsibility Agreement (SRA) to encourage community participation. The 'Building the Community' SRA also provides a women's centre to ensure access to community resources. 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.
