On 9 August 2018 at Dharriwaa Elders Group Yuwaya Ngarra-li convened the first Walgett Youth Justice Working Group meeting, an idea from the Youth Justice Forum that community wanted included in the Action Plan for Children and Young People.
Our aim is to bring together services & key stakeholders in Walgett to collaborate, share information and commit to working holistically to reduce the numbers of Aboriginal young people coming into contact with the criminal justice system. DEG would like to give special thanks to Walgett AMS and the Aboriginal Legal Service - our sister Aboriginal community-controlled organisations on the ground who are working holistically with the Yuwaya Ngarra-li partnership to bring change & better justice outcomes for Walgett children.
