Maranguka Annual Report 2024 - Flipbook - Page 7
A Decade
of Impact
Since becoming Australia’s 昀椀rst major justice reinvestment site,
the Bourke community—through Maranguka—has set a national
standard for place-based, Aboriginal-led reform.
Key achievements over the past ten years include:
~ Establishing the Daily Check-In model (now in its 7th year), a
proven mechanism for reducing youth offending and family
violence through coordinated service responses.
~ Embedding Maranguka’s community protocols into NGO
contracts, ensuring accountability to local cultural governance
via the Bourke Tribal Council.
~ Pioneering the Palimaa Data Platform, a community-owned
tool that exempli昀椀es First Nations Data Sovereignty in action.
~ Supporting more than 300 community members to
obtain driver’s licences, and facilitating dozens of school
holiday, parenting, and cultural programs for young people
and families.
~ Leading nationally recognised collaborations, including with
the NSW Cross Sector Leadership Group, Stronger Places,
Stronger People initiative, and the formation of the Nexus
Centre for national place-based learning.
