A lack of staff, funding and housing in the remote community where Kumanjayi Walker lived are making it difficult for a local youth services provider to do its work, an inquest has heard.
The head of Warlpiri Youth Development Aboriginal Corporation, Glenda Abraham, told the inquest into Mr Walker's death of the difficulties of recruiting and housing staff at Yuendumu, 300km northwest of Alice Springs.
"It's almost near impossible to convince somebody to pick up their life and move to Yuendumu when their employment contracts are linked directly to a grant funding arrangement that might be six or 12 months in length," she said on Thursday.
