Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Employment Strategy

ACT Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Agreement 2019-28

The Agreement recognises Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as Australia's first people. First people have the right to self-determination which is an ongoing process of choice to ensure that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities are able to meet their social, cultural and economic needs.

The Agreement's Action Plans describe how the government will deliver on the core and significant focus areas of the Agreement. The Action Plans identify actions across government against ten focus areas chosen by the ACT Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.
