| The Metro-Adelaide Nunga Mi-Minar Shared Responsibility Agreement is an agreement between the Department of Health and Ageing, the Department of Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, the South Australian Department of Education and Children's Services and Nunga Mi:Minar Women and Children's Shelter. The agreement provides for the provision of courses such as counselling and assistance with health issues such as drug and alcohol misuse and literacy. The agreement also provides for the employment of an aboriginal health worker to deliver health promotion information sessions and health screenings and run activities such as healthy eating and cooking programs, nutrition and food awareness courses and the development of a recipe book to be included in the accommodation unit. 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.
