Ngaringga Ngurra Family Support Program The Department for Community Development funds to Ngaringga Ngurra Aboriginal Corporation to provide a Family Support Service to the Town of Halls Creek. The Department has recently suspended the funding due to not receiving their Audit for 2002. The Service has also failed to submit an acceptable Preferred Service Provider package to the Department. The Department is working with the organisation to reinstate their funding that will see them operate for a further three years. The Family Support Program receives funds to provide family support services, with a focus on enhancing and developing family relationships and parenting issues within the family context. The program is to deliver programs for families combining with other Service Providers, including the Department for Community Development. The programs developed by the service will include community based family activities that promote positive family relationships.

It is a condition of this Service Agreement that a progress report is submitted twice yearly. The report must address each outcome objective for that service, specifying success in achieving each outcome objective. The service must also report on any factors that had limited the ability of the funded service to achieve each objective or of any difficulties encountered. Additionally, the Service Agreement outlines that a service review is to be conducted twice within the period of the agreement, that is, approximately every 18 months. A service review is the more formal process for assessing how well the funded service is meeting the agreed outcome objectives.
