| Summary Information: | |
| The Cape Barren Island 'Building the Community Wellbeing Centre' Shared Responsibility Agreement (SRA) is one of two SRAs signed on Cape Barren Island in 2005. This SRA relates to a Community Wellbeing Centre which will centralise a range of healthcare services in the community.
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.
