Closing the Gap – HAVE YOUR SAY – NSW Implementation Plan Engagement
The NSW Coalition of Aboriginal Peaks (NSW CAPO) is currently looking for your feedback to the first round of 2021 engagement sessions around Closing the Gap. The National Agreement on Closing the Gap is built around four Priority Reforms to change the way in which governments work with Aboriginal People.
The priority reforms are:
- Formal partnerships and shared decision making
- Building the community-controlled sector
- Transforming government organisations
- Shared Access to Data and Information at a Regional Level
- Economic Prosperity and Employment (additional for NSW)
Find out more about the priority reform areas below.
Close the Gap Priority Reforms: Video Resources for Community
We want to get your views about what is needed to drive these priority reforms and make the lives of Aboriginal people better. Your views will help to create practical action that could be included in NSW Implementation Plan (NSW IP) to support Aboriginal people, communities and organisations in taking charge of their own lives and development. The NSW IP will include actions to achieve the priority reforms, funding, timeframes and accountability mechanisms.
A Community Companion document has been written to help explain to you more about the National Agreement and the Priority Reforms and the next steps for NSW.
