The story so far · from public sources
The Yarrabah Community Justice Group (operating for roughly 30 years, originally under Yarrabah Council, then auspiced by Gurriny) was transferred to Gindaja as auspice organisation.
gindaja.org.au ↗In June 2020 the Queensland Department of Justice and Attorney-General restructured the funding format; Gindaja tendered for and won the contract for the Yarrabah Justice Service, and a new service-delivery model was developed splitting the single coordinator role into a Coordinator role and a grassroots Justice Group Officer role.
gindaja.org.au ↗On 1 February 2024 the Australian Government announced that, following an independent assessment, nine organisations were selected to deliver justice reinvestment initiatives, including Gindaja Treatment and Healing Indigenous Corporation (Yarrabah, QLD), under a $79 million commitment to support up to 30 community-led initiatives (part of a $109 million First Nations justice package).
ministers.pmc.gov.au ↗Throughout 2025 the interim National Justice Reinvestment Unit engaged with Commonwealth-funded initiatives (including Gindaja) on the design of the National Justice Reinvestment Unit, holding four roundtables in Perth, Adelaide, Darwin and Cairns across July and August 2025; the first evaluation applying the national justice reinvestment framework is anticipated to begin later in 2026.
