RACGP Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health (“the Faculty”) is seeking your input into the RACGP’s submission to the Australian National Audit Office’s (ANAO) audit of the Closing the Gap Strategy.
Closing the Gap is a national strategy, established to address Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander disadvantage, which is made up of a series of policies and programs to achieve seven national targets across the key areas of health, education and employment.
The objective of this ANAO audit is to assess the effectiveness of the arrangements for monitoring, evaluating and reporting progress towards Closing the Gap, with respect to the following questions:
- have appropriate data governance arrangements been established for monitoring progress towards Closing the Gap?
- have appropriate processes been established for reporting progress towards Closing the Gap?
- have effective processes been established to evaluate the impact of Indigenous programs on Closing the Gap?
