Aboriginal Peak Organisations of the Northern Territory, Jon Altman

Apr 2011

Abstract:

The Australian government is seeking to fundamentally reform CDEP (Community Development Employment Projects) throughout remote Indigenous Australia as a part of the NT Intervention. CDEP, established in 1977, is a mutual obligation workfare program that was a vehicle for engaging Aboriginal people in a range of community development, service delivery and enterprise development projects, funded from block grants roughly equivalent to unemployment benefit entitlements.
