ANTaR has produced the booklet A Better Way: Success Stories in Aboriginal community-control in the Northern Territory publication that calls on governments to empower Aboriginal organisations and communities to drive solutions to the challenges they face.
This new booklet of success stories showcases 13 successful Aboriginal community-controlled organisations in the NT that are working across a diverse range of sectors. All feature Aboriginal management and administration, are responsive to local community needs and priorities and work in partnership with other organisations.
Individually, these organisations are tackling petrol sniffing, delivering health care, ensuring access to healthy foods, building self-reliance in times of financial crisis, supporting people to budget and eat well and delivering banking services to remote areas. Together, they offer an alternative response to the challenges facing Aboriginal communities based on community participation and leadership.
