Where we are up to
The East Gippsland Collaborative Impact Project (Doombook) aims to develop culturally informed diversion and early intervention strategies for the Aboriginal communities of Cann River and Far East Gippsland.
A four-year funding arrangement has been established to support Moogji Aboriginal Council (an Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation in East Gippsland, Victoria) to deliver the project.
COVID-19 has impacted project delivery, however the Steering Group and Regional Aboriginal Justice Advisory Committee (RAJAC) continue to meet remotely to strengthen stakeholder partnerships and prepare for project implementation in 2021.
