Yuendumu, NT
Mampu-Maninjaku is a community-led crime prevention, alcohol and drug counselling, and diversion program delivered by the Central Australian Youth Link-Up Service (CAYLUS), federally funded as the second initiative under the Justice Reinvestment in Central Australia Program, serving the communities of Nyirripi, Willowra, Yuendumu and Outstations.
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 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.
The arc

About this page
This is a public record built from sources in the open, not yet a profile the community holds. Central Australian Youth Link-Up Service (CAYLUS) 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.
