Only five of 19 Indigenous targets are on track

The latest Closing the Gap report reveals that only five of 19 targets for improving Indigenous outcomes are on track, including healthy birth weights and preschool enrolments. Four areas show worsening conditions, such as increased youth incarceration and suicide rates. The report highlights the need for accountability from both federal and state governments, as data collection challenges persist. The Prime Minister is set to address these issues at the upcoming Garma Festival.
