The JCC, established in April 2019, provides oversight of the co-design and implementation of the Local Thriving Communities (LTC) reform, which will bring greater decision-making authority to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across the state.
The Local Thriving Communities reform, which now extends to urban and regional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, will result in government working in a visibly different way alongside communities to improve outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Queenslanders, particularly in relation to service delivery and economic development.
Over the last three years, the JCC has overseen the establishment of interim Local Decision-Making Bodies and co-designed the LTC action plan 2022-2024 LTC action plan 2022-2024 , which is underpinned by cultural insights.
The JCC is a key governance mechanism driving the reform process, which also champions the reframed relationship between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the government.
The JCC oversees design and implementation across government and all participating communities, and ensures all voices, including those of young people, are heard.
