| Summary Information: | ||
| The Mullewa Women's Indigenous Group 'Our Place, Our Home' Shared Responsibility Agreement (SRA) is an agreement between the Department of Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations, the Shire of Mullewa and the Midwest Employment and Economic Development Aboriginal Corporation. It was signed on 14 May 2007. The agreement relates to the establishment of a place in the central part of town where woman can gather together to sit and talk, share their lives and plan activities and responses to improve the quality of their lives. A suitable site for the centre has been located, but requires some renovations before it would be suitable. 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.
