The JBACE project stands as a shining example of successful Joint Decision-Making (JDM) outcomes in the West Kimberley. Spearheaded by EC-West, this project has been guided by a dedicated Design Committee, selected through a public Expression of Interest (EOI) process. Once referred to as the ACE Project, a formal name has now been given following discussions with the Yawuru language center. The name "Jirril Birrnyurdany," meaning "Strong Because of Roots," was provided by NBY and unanimously endorsed by the Design Committee. Meeting fortnightly, the Design Committee has played a pivotal role in shaping every aspect of the JBACE concept informing the details of the business case. Phase 1 co-design is scheduled for completion in June 2024, and EC-West’s continued backbone functions for the subsequent Phase 2 detailed co-design has been recommended by both the design committee and the Broome Local Management Committee (LMC). By focusing holistically on family empowerment, social well-being, and ensuring culturally appropriate service delivery, the JBACE concept aims to make a substantial contribution to closing the gap targets. Key components of the JBACE concept: Centralised and Coordinated Services: JBACE will act as a hub, offering integrated existing services that are easily accessible to families. Culturally Appropriate Programs: Delivering programs designed with Aboriginal families to strengthen cultural identity and community cohesion. Strengthen Foundations for Family Empowerment: Increase parenting skills and knowledge, provide support, and strengthen family units. Advance Development of Thriving Young People: Equip families to support the educational, social, and economic advancement of young people. Improved Access to Early Learning and Parenting Services: Enhance the availability, quality, and accessibility of early learning foundations, brain development, secure attachment and parenting programs, supporting early childhood development and parenting capacity in Aboriginal families. Enhanced Service Collaboration and Integration: Improve coordination among service providers to reduce duplication, increase efficiency, and build the skills and knowledge of both families and service providers. Generational Change with Lasting and Sustainable Impact: Create long-term positive changes that benefit future generations.
