Embedding the Priority Reforms
There are four Priority Reforms at the heart of the National Agreement. The Priority Reforms articulate a program to transform how governments work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
The 2022 Annual Report identified that much more needs to be done to accelerate efforts to embed Priority Reform Three and Priority Reform Four and, with new data for only nine of the 18 socio‑economic targets available (at the time of reporting), highlighted the need for more relevant and timely data collection.
The 2023 Implementation Plan commits the Commonwealth to be more ambitious and drive change to ensure the four Priority Reforms are considered in everything the Commonwealth does in relation to policies and programs that affect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
