Overview

The Animal management worker program gives local Aboriginal people in four shires of the Northern Territory - East Arnhem, West Arnhem, MacDonnell and Tiwi Islands, the skills and knowledge to deal with the issues that arise from dog management in remote Indigenous communities. The Northern Territory Aboriginal benefit account provided $2.89 million in funding for the project which is managed by Animal Management in Rural and Remote Indigenous Communities (AMRRIC). The project will run for three years and assist in the creation of 10 new positions for Aboriginal animal management or environmental health workers.
