abstract = "The chapter presents two case studies to illustrate the bureaucratic complexity that First Nations community controlled organisations have had to navigate in order to deliver services to First Nations peoples in the city of Newcastle in the neoliberal age. The first case study is in the context of the streamlining of federal and state Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health programs into Tackling Indigenous Smoking, while the second is the creation of a Community Housing sub-sector. The two case studies serve to illustrate how the creation of a government health care and social assistance market, which has evolved into an industry with multiple sectors, became an inherently bureaucratic enterprise focused on administrative systems governing and regulating government service delivery that has significantly hindered the capacity of community controlled organisations to be responsive to the needs of First Nations people on the ground.",
