| Summary Information: | ||
| The Shared Responsibility Agreement (SRA) was developed between the Urapuntja Indigenous Community, the Urapuntja Council Aboriginal Corporation and the Australian Government Attorney General's Department on 10 May 2007. The SRA aims to improve levels of safety and well-being in the Urapuntja Indigenous Community through a range of programs including a Night Patrol service, disengaged youth strategies and improved community municipal and aged care services. 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.
