Jurrah was one of two 23-year-old men and a woman arrested on Wednesday night at the Little Sisters Town Camp in Alice Springs.
They were charged early on Friday with one count each of intending serious harm, causing serious harm and being armed with an offensive weapon.
Melbourne chief executive Cameron Schwab said the Demons would stand by Jurrah, had sent officials there to help him, and hoped to have the player back in Melbourne as quickly as possible.
Jurrah is set to face court in Alice Springs later on Friday.
Schwab said the issues facing Jurrah were "complex and challenging" - and are believed to involve a clan war between indigenous peoples in his tribal community.
Jurrah is an elder of the Warlpiri people who live in Yuendumu, a community about 300km northwest of Alice Springs.
He is the first player from a remote central Australian community to play in the AFL.
Schwab admitted the Demons were "learning as we go" about how best to help Jurrah and the unique problems he faced.
"We will try and assist and support Liam as much as we can during this period, understanding that we are dealing with incredibly complex, emotional and difficult issues," Schwab said on Friday.
" ... Clearly he is often torn by the various responsibilities he does have as an elder within his community and obviously the responsibilities that come with being an elite athlete in an AFL football club.
"This is literally an issue which has split his family and split his community and he's having to deal with that with the maturity ... of an elder in his community."
Jurrah had been on leave from the club, given time off because his partner Shijara's sister died suddenly last week.
"He communicated with the club fully. We understood exactly where he was at. Obviously the news (of him being charged) came yesterday it came as a great shock," Schwab said.
"Like you guys (media) we've spent the last 24 hours trying to piece together what happened."
Schwab said it was too early to speculate on what Jurrah's football future might hold.
"First thing is we sit down with him and see where his head-space is at," Schwab said.
"He's obviously gone through a very traumatic situation and we'll need to find out exactly where he sits.
"The first matter to be dealt with is the matter at hand, which is the fact he has to deal with a court issue."
Police were called to the Little Sisters Town Camp about midnight on Wednesday following a disturbance.
They found a 35-year-old man suffering serious head injuries, alleged to have been inflicted in a machete attack.
