The Department of Indigenous Affairs advises:
At the 14 January 2008 meeting of Commonwealth and State Treasurers it was agreed that all jurisdictions will cooperate in the development of a national framework for reporting expenditure on Indigenous services. The purpose of developing a national framework for reporting expenditure on Indigenous services is so that Commonwealth, State and Territory Governments have a greater understanding of the level and patterns of expenditure in relation to Indigenous people. This information can then be used in combination with other performance information such as the Report on Government Services and the Overcoming Indigenous Disadvantage Report, to determine how appropriately targeted and effective their programs are in reducing Indigenous disadvantage.
