(1)-(3) Strategies to involve Indigenous people in the development of initiatives are being informed by the Council of Australian Governments’ Indigenous reform project team, which recently met with representatives from key Indigenous organisations and relevant state government departments to seek their input into the Indigenous reform agenda and priority issues. Further opportunities will be available as the reform agenda progresses.
