Impact on the record
Every figure carries the source it came from and a label for what kind of figure it is, so an evaluated outcome is never confused with a projection, a background number, or a figure from a related program. Most sites here were funded in the 2024 and 2025 Commonwealth rounds, and the first evaluations under the national framework begin from late 2026. An empty panel is an honest early-stage record, not a failure.
No evaluated outcomes are on the public record for this site yet. This is expected for an establishment-stage initiative. What we can show today is its programs, the people leading it, and the funding attached to the lead organisation. When the site publishes its own figures, each will appear here with its source.
The ledger in plain view
Funding on record (lead organisation)
$1,791
Cost of detaining one child for a year
$1,300,000
ROGS 2026 national average
Equivalent child-years of detention
0.00
This is funding recorded against the lead organisation, not the site-specific federal allocation, which governments publish only as national envelopes. The comparison sets what a community receives against the price of a single cell, so the question moves from whether to fund the community to why we still fund the cell.

The people
We do not name individuals here until the community chooses to. At remote and survivor-led sites, naming people without community sign-off, or where Sorry Business may apply, is unsafe. When the site claims this page, it decides who is named and how.

About this page
This is a public record built from sources in the open, not yet a profile the community holds. Ebenezer Aboriginal Corporation is the editor of record once it claims this page. When a site claims it, the community decides what the world sees, names its own people, and publishes its own figures. We can stage a page. The community publishes it.
