Operational guidelines for Shared Responsibility Agreements
|
||||
Shared Responsibility is about governments and communities working as partners and
sharing the responsibility to achieve better outcomes for communities, families and
individuals. Shared responsibility arrangements will be achieved through agreements
at the local and/or regional levels that are inclusive of all groupings and members in the
community, through appropriate structures such as Community Working Parties.
Shared Responsibility Agreements (SRAs) are agreements between governments and
Aboriginal communities to provide some discretionary benefit. The agreements will
detail the obligations of all parties. They are voluntary arrangements that advance the
agreed priorities and needs of communities. Signatories recognise that responsibility for
achieving the joint outcomes of the agreement is shared between the governments and the
community itself. To help ensure that joint outcomes are achieved, early notification of the development of SRAs, including the location and expected outcomes, will be necessary.
