Family Representative Members

At Gunawuna Jungai (GJ), cultural democracy is at the heart of our governance structure. Through the Dartboard process, we ensure that all family groups within the Doomadgee community are given the opportunity to be equally represented in decision-making, with each group’s voice carried by their Elders and Representative Members. This decentralised and inclusive model ensures that decisions reflect the community’s values, knowledge, and aspirations.

By facilitating a two-way flow of communication between the GJ team and the community, cultural democracy allows us to honour traditional governance structures while empowering the community to actively shape its future. This approach not only respects but also strengthens the cultural authority and self-determination of Doomadgee, demonstrating our commitment to culturally democratic governance.
