The Northern Territory government has called on the federal government to reintroduce compulsory work or training programs with fortnightly reporting obligations for welfare recipients after the violence in Alice Springs/Mparntwe last week.

Despite their landslide election victory in August, the CLP government have faced the same criticism Labor did for a spate of violent incidents in the troubled town, which included a two-month-old baby girl's skull being fractured during an alleged violent home invasion last week.

Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro was booed when she arrived in the Central Australian township last week before announcing a series of areas the NT government wanted the federal government to address.

These include welfare payments to be made on current takeaway alcohol-free days only; reintroduce compulsory work or training programs with fortnightly reporting obligations for welfare recipients; and "accept the Northern Territory Government's referral to the Federal Government for parents who neglect their children, enabling additional income management".

"I have been firm in saying that any request to the Federal Government must be tangible, realistic, and make a meaningful impact on the ground," the Chief Minister said.

"After a decade of neglect, the Territory has broken systems that need rebuilding, young people who are lawless and have no respect, and laws that don't meet the community's expectations or support our police."

She said she has written to both Senator Malarndirri McCarthy and local MP Marion Scrymgour, asking for "urgent action," and has requested a meeting this week to "confirm what action the Federal Government will deliver".

A photo released by the Territory government of meetings included federal NT Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price.

One of the demands set out by the NT government was for a performance audit of federally funded programs, action Senator Price has called for since the Voice referendum.

"I have long called for an audit of the Albanese Labor government's reckless spending including the funding of Aboriginal organisations that may not be producing outcomes," Senator Price, a former Alice Springs counsellor, said.

"The Albanese government has opposed my attempts time after time, but this crisis demands that they stop playing political games and start doing what is in the best interests of us here in Central Australia."

The Senator criticised the federal government, who have spent $350 million on a number of policy announcements to help people in the region.

"When $350 million isn't enough to improve the situation, and you have people feeling more fearful than ever in their own homes, the Albanese government must realise that money is not the solution to the crisis in Central Australia," she said.

"This is not a partisan issue – it is fast becoming an issue of life and death. The Albanese government must put aside its partisan ideologies and work collaboratively with the Northern Territory government to approve these requests."

Ms Finocchiaro said she had told the police commissioner "every option is on the table".

"This includes considering curfews and leveraging support from interstate police forces," she said.

Last week, opposition leader Selena Uibo said the new CLP government's approach to crime prevention was failing and called for another curfew in the town.

"Alice Springs is spiralling further out of control, and Lia's so-called urgent laws have no impact," Ms Uibo said, before arguing the Chief Minister needed to stop "hiding behind press releases" and take "immediate action to protect Territorians".

"A curfew must be called," she said.

The town has already experienced two curfews this year in the wake of violence, with local leaders split on its effectiveness.
