Indigenous Advancement Strategy

The Indigenous Advancement Strategy (IAS) aims to improve outcomes for Indigenous Australians, with a particular focus on:

Getting Indigenous Australians into work, fostering Indigenous business and ensuring Indigenous people receive economic and social benefits from the effective management of their land and native title rights;
Getting children to school, improving literacy and numeracy, and supporting families to give children a good start in life;
Increasing Year 12 attainment and pathways to further training and education;
Making communities safer so that Indigenous people enjoy similar levels of physical, emotional, and social wellbeing as that enjoyed by other Australians;
Increasing participation and acceptance of Indigenous Australians in the economic and social life of the nation, and;
Addressing the disproportionate disadvantage in remote Australia and support for local solutions.
