4.6 Research project on community perceptions of governanceResearch team: Judy Lovell, Ada Lechleitner, Mark Inkamala, Anna Marie Armstrong , Rachel Kantawara, Dion DhamarranydjiDion Dhamarranydji (left) collecting informed consent for the surveyKatie Abbott with computer tablet and AnnaMarie Armstrong (right) surveying residentsMark Inkamala surveying a member of theTjuwanpa Rangers group4.6.1 IntroductionThis was a survey of 20% of people over the age of 18 living at Ntaria, Tjuwanpa or another outstation. The survey was designed by the Ninti One Ntariaresearchers with input from some members of Wurla Nyinta, the Ntaria Local Reference Group (LRG). Wurla Nyinta and the researchers were interested in howlocal residents understand the role and work the LRG undertakes for Ntaria community. In designing the participatory action research cycle, significant overlaps inthe concepts relating to Arrarnta organisational protocols and introduced governance models surfaced. This impacted on how the survey was designed, the findingsinterpreted and the tone of the recommendations.Wurla Nyinta acts as the governance organisation for the wider community through their communication and decision-making role in coordinated remote servicedelivery (RSD) at Ntaria. Wurla Nyinta representatives explain that they take this responsibility seriously, and it is widely accepted that LRGs are intended torepresent the whole community. Exactly how they do so, or if they do so has not been formalised. At Ntaria the community researchers and Wurla Nyinta memberswanted to ascertain if there are gaps in community representation, as well as which families might attend to strengthen broad representation and whichcommunity members were undertaking the greatest voluntary, governance, organisational and representational roles at Wurla Nyinta.60 Final Report: Strengthening Community Research in Remote Service Delivery at Ntaria
Wurla Nyinta represents the whole community in this important work, but how much does the wider community understand about this work, or the influence ithas on RSD? The survey was designed to get a snapshot of how this gets discussed, who talks with whom about what, and how the wider community connectsWurla Nyinta decision making with planning and change at Ntaria. From the researchers’ analysis of the survey results we can report about:How Wurla Nyinta gets feedback or direction from the communityWho knows, and who does not know, what Wurla Nyinta does on behalf of the communityWho represents the various families, age groups and organisationsWho is missing from the decision makingWhat might encourage people to have a strong voice through Wurla NyintaHow external agencies involved at Ntaria might consider their roles and the role of Wurla Nyinta in RSD plans and implementationIntroducing the overlap of Anparnintja and Community Governance.4.6.2 Informed consentEach time someone was surveyed, they were told important information about who the survey was for, why it was being done, and what the likely benefits mightbe for the community, the participant, the researchers and the client who was paying for the work (FaHCSIA). The person could then choose to continue with thesurvey or not; it was a free choice. The script for this survey was in Western Arrarnta and English. This process is known as plain language informed consent.Wurtai yinga Anna Marie rrangkerra kala nuka kaltja.
