The SRA states that its purpose is to create more activities in order to divert young people away from substance abuse and towards education. Specifically, this SRA provides funding to expand the existing motocross program which, the SRA emphasises, can be used by both male and female young people.
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.
