Back to EpisodesIndigenous Youth Support Service Shuts Down
Description
Queenslands Murri Watch, a vital support service for Indigenous youth in watch houses, is facing closure due to funding cuts. With 1,233 youth supported last year, the service provides essential hygiene, food, and medical care. Critics warn of increased strain on police and potential safety risks, as youth often stay longer than planned. The government is investing in early intervention and rehab, but Murri Watch and advocates are pushing for their services survival to ensure youth safety.
