DEATHS IN CUSTODY WATCH COMMITTEE DICWC The Deaths in Custody Watch Committee (DICWC) was formed in 1993 and is a broad based community organisation reflecting both an Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal commitment to ensure effective implementation of the recommendations of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody (RCIADIC). The Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody began in 1987, and continued until the release of its final report in 1991. It followed a spate of violent and untimely deaths in custody. [Source: http://www.deathsincustody.org.au/about] In November 2016, the organisation changed its name to First Nations Deaths in Custody Watch Committee (Inc.). RESTRICTED ACCESS Items containing personal names of clients and staff are restricted. Refer to CIU file for access.
