Closing the Gap in Indigenous Disadvantage
A new government brought a fresh approach and vigour in reducing
the disadvantages faced by our Indigenous brothers and sisters.
Twelve months on from ‘The Apology’ all eyes are on the progress
made with the 6 key targets outlined in the federal government’s
‘Closing the Gap’ Campaign.
Despite an enormous injection of funding into Indigenous housing,
health and education, the conversion of new policies into improved
service delivery is not as transparent as the Rudd government’s
enthusiasm to improve Indigenous circumstances.
Linking Indigenous Policy with Service Delivery 2009 fleshes out the
new whole-of-government approach to reduce the gap in indigenous
disadvantage in partnership with NGOs and NFPs on both policy and
service delivery levels.
Why you need to attend
Through a focus on rights vs responsibility, accountability, and
increased engagement and culturally appropriate processes you will
take away knowledge on new and successful initiatives and a better
understanding of how we can all work together to achieve improved
outcomes in rural and remote areas. This conference is specifically
designed for representatives from federal, state and local
government involved in Indigenous policy design, strategy, service
delivery and program management along with those from community
organisations.
