| Summary Information: | |
| The Moama Shared Responsibility Agreement (SRA) formalises a number of community initiatives that promote family safety. The SRA was made between the Indigenous community in Moama and the Commonwealth Government.
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.

Families and individuals will participate in these activities and support services for families or individuals in crisis.
The community will be involved in directing the efforts of the families liaison officer and in organising related activities.' (SRA Fact Sheet).
