The On Country program is designed to work with justice involved First Nations young people to prevent ongoing offending. The service is being offered in Cairns, Townsville and Mt Isa and is being delivered by:
  • (Mt Isa) Mona Aboriginal Corporation
  • (Townsville) Gr8motive Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Corporation
  • (Cairns) Jabalbina Yalanji Aboriginal Corporation
The On Country program is currently being evaluated by QCOSS. This survey asks questions about the On Country program and provides you with an opportunity to tell us your thoughts about the impact the program has had and how it could be improved in the future. All information you provide will be confidential.
