| The Coonabarabran 'Family Violence Prevention Initiatives' Shared Responsibility Agreement is an agreement between the Office of Indigenous Policy Coordination (OIPC), the Department of Communications, Information Technology and the Arts (DCITA), the Department of Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaCSIA) and the Coonabarabran Indigenous Community for the introduction of the 'Black on Track' program, a service which covers family violence prevention and connection to culture.
