Local Decision Making (LDM)
Local Decision Making recognises the right to self-determination and the right to participate in decision-making and exercise full authority and self-management consistent with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
How Aboriginal communities are represented and how they come together to make decisions, are matters for communities to determine.

RMRA Reports
RMRA Events Report
There are many social factors that impact on the physical, social, emotional and spiritual health of Aboriginal people in our communities. These include the changing social and economic roles and loss of identity; changing notions of roles in society and families; relationship breakdown; racism; mental health issues including depression, anxiety and suicide; unemployment, working patterns and hours, Aboriginal culture; as well as services which are lacking in responsiveness to our needs.
Riverina Murray Regional Alliance heard from our communities when we hosted the first Regional Healing forum in Griffith in November 2017. Community members in attendance stated they wanted opportunity to gather, to be together, to share, to learn and to grow our future generations with opportunities to learn culture, language and return to our way of being.

RMRA provide an important voice for our communities to achieve real and measurable improvements for Aboriginal people across the Riverina Murray. Through this Plan we seek to enhance lives, providing voice for our communities and increasing self-sufficiency. This plan identifies our priorities for service provision and outlines our expectations of service providers within our region servicing our communities.
