| Summary Information: | ||
| The West Inala Panthers 'Positive Living - Positive Life' Shared Responsibility Agreement is an agreement between the Department of Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, the Office of Indigenous Policy Coordination, the Department of Communications, Information Technology and the Arts and the Department of Health and Ageing. It provides for the ongoing development of the West Inala Panthers Rugby team with a view to creating quality, competitive and family-friendly sporting activities in the community. In doing so it is hoped that the health and fitness of indigenous men will be improved, community boredom will be alleviated, community pride will be re-energised and the capacity of young men to tackle issues of violence in the community will be increased. In 2006 the Inala Rugby Club will celebrate 50 years of rugby league in Inala. The SRA provides an opportunity for the club to continue building upon its history as a hub for the broader community to participate in rugby and other sporting activities. 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.
