The CJC in partnership with NAAJA commenced a joint training program for training mediations to Indigenous people following funding from the Healing Foundation. Communities that were identified by the Foundation for training based on established relationships in the community and elders included Lajamanu, Tiwi Island, Katherine (and surrounding areas) and Gunbalanya. The CJC and NAAJA completed community engagement in Gunbalanya, Katherine & Lajamanu and has received a formal invitation to conduct the training to commence in the next reporting period.
