The National Agreement on Closing the Gap has 16 national socio-economic targets across areas that have an impact on life outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Targets are definite and measurable goals. Under each of the targets there are indicators that help to provide an understanding of how to track progress. All Australian businesses especially those in infrastructure and mining industries, and the public sector should seek to align their strategies to these targets, and learn how to effectively measure and monitor the outcomes of their initiatives.
Outcomes are the desired result for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Organisations must engage indigenous peoples. No one should be left out.
