Western Australia Closing the Gap Annual Report 2022

Description

This Annual Report provides the first opportunity for the WA Government to demonstrate progress towards improved outcomes for Aboriginal people and their communities since the publication of the jurisdictional Implementation Plan and the launch of the Aboriginal Empowerment Strategy in September 2021. The Annual Report therefore reports on activities and progress during the period September 2021 – September 2022.

Over the past twelve months, the WA Government has worked closely with the Aboriginal Advisory Council, its Coalition of Peaks partner Aboriginal Health Council of Western Australia (AHCWA), and Aboriginal people and their communities to embed the key principles of the National Agreement in policy and practice, and strengthen the foundations for ongoing reform. Achievements detailed in this report are representative of the WA Government’s commitment to change the way it works with Aboriginal people, and recognise the diversity and strength of Aboriginal communities and cultures across the state.
