| Summary Information: | ||
| The Bundaberg 'Youth Activities' Shared Responsibility Agreement (SRA) is an agreement between the Indigenous community of Bundaberg, the Australian government and local Indigenous organisations. It provides for the funding and resources for opportunities for young leaders to engage with young people through an event or activity based approach. 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.

| Purpose The SRA aims to address the community-identified priority of building a 'brighter future for youth by developing youth leadership' (Indigenous Portal Website, February 2007). The SRA is a response to the expressed need of the young Indigenous community, and builds upon previous successful youth initiatives (including the Bundaberg 'Drop-In Centre for Young People' Shared Responsibility Agreement (SRA) (18 October 2005)), and the strong connections between the Indigenous members of the Bundaberg community and Indigenous organizations. Proposed events and activities include: Shared Responsibilities The community and individuals will: Individual participants will demonstrate an agreed standard of behaviour whilst engaged in youth centre activities and in the community. In addition, four young people will undertake formal training as youth workers. The Bundaberg and Burnett Region Community Development Aboriginal Corporation (BBRCDAC) will manage the funds on behalf of the community and young people. In addition, a board member of BBRCDAC will coordinate quarterly activities, such as return to country and 'Gunnago Bush' for young people focused on strengthening knowledge of cultural heritage. Indigenous community service providers will promote and sponsor activities. The Commonwealth Attorney-General's Department has proposed a contribution of $5,000 towards activities and programs with a justice diversion focus. The Department of Health and Aging (DHA) has proposed a total contribution of $6,000 towards activities and programs with a youth health focus. The Department of Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaCSIA) has proposed a contribution of $75,000 towards activities and programs focused on youth leadership and family violence. The Burnett Mary Regional Group for Natural Resource Management has proposed a contribution of $5,000 towards activities and programs focused on youth leadership. The funding of the SRA is subject to the partners entering into a legally binding funding agreement. Performance Indicators and Feedback Mechanisms The SRA provides for the quarterly assessment by the Youth Centre staff of the following performance indicators: In addition, the Coordinator of the Youth Centre will assess the number of young people who participate in youth centre activities. Quarterly meetings will be held between the representatives of the funding agencies, BBRCDAC and the Rockhampton Indigenous Coordination Centre (ICC). | ||
