WA Labor to provide more funding for Pilbara Aboriginal organisation

The funding will help provide infrastructure upgrades to improve delivery of services, which are heavily focused on family, children and child safety.
  • Re-elected WA Labor Government to commit $3 million to Julyardi Aboriginal Corporation in South Hedland
  • Funding will support infrastructure upgrades at facilities that help deliver important community programs
  • Reinforces WA Labor’s commitment to supporting our most vulnerable in the community Julyardi Aboriginal Corporation in South Hedland will receive $3 million for upgrades at their premises under a re-elected Cook Labor Government.

The funding will help provide infrastructure upgrades to improve delivery of services, which are heavily focused on family, children and child safety.

That includes the Target 120 program, which helps to steer young people at risk of offending away from the justice system, as well as the Safe at Home program in Hedland which supports people escaping family and domestic violence to remain in their homes where it is safe to do so.

The $3 million announcement reflects WA Labor’s commitment to supporting vulnerable youth and creating safer communities, while also helping keep victim-survivors of family and domestic violence safe.

Comments attributed to Community Services Minister Sabine Winton:

“This is an important announcement that reflects WA Labor’s commitment to helping vulnerable young people, addressing youth crime and supporting victim-survivors of family and domestic violence."

“Under WA Labor, we’ve implemented these important programs right across the State and now they’re making a huge difference in our local communities."

“Only WA Labor will support local organisations like Julyardi Aboriginal Corporation to continue delivering initiatives like Target 120 and Safe at Home and making a positive impact on their community.”

Comments attributed to Pilbara MLA Kevin Michel:

“Julyardi Aboriginal Corporation are an outstanding and well-respected local community organisation making a genuine difference in people’s lives."

“If re-elected as local member for the Pilbara, I look forward to working closely with Julyardi Aboriginal Corporation in helping to deliver these much-needed improvements for their facilities.”
