The JCC, which was established in April 2019, provides advice to us about co-design and implementation of the Local Thriving Communities reform which will bring greater decision-making authority to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across the state.
The Local Thriving Communities reform will result in government working in a visibly different way alongside these communities to improve outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Queenslanders, particularly in relation to service delivery and economic development.
The JCC is a key governance mechanism driving the reform process. It also champions the reframed relationship between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the government.
It will oversee design and implementation across all participating communities, and will ensure that all voices, including those of young people, are heard.

The JCC meets between four and six times a year and includes membership from government (local, state and federal) and Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Where possible, meetings will be held in communities.
