Working Together to Close The Gap
T.A.C.C.O
Tamworth Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations
Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations that are signatories of the TACCO Placed Based Partnership discuss, share and exchange information and resources to foster a collaborative, solutions based approach to community concerns.
A Joint Commitment to a Common Goal
The Coalition jointly commit to supporting and fostering the social, economic, and cultural wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living locally. The Coalition will achieve this through the provision of demonstrated leadership on key issues, mutual respect and trust.
We will advocate and work collaboratively with all levels of Government to ensure stronger community involvement in the development, guidance and implementation of strategies to effect change.
Closing the Gap
Closing the Gap is a Government-led initiative aimed at reducing the socio-economic disparities that have been proven to exist between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Australians. It comprises of 17 identified Socio-economic Targets and 5 Priority Reform Areas.
Closing the Gap will transform the way Governments work with and for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to deliver outcomes based on community need and desire and upholding First Nations autonomy and self-determination.
TACCO has been specifically implemented to address the needs of Tamworth’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community as required under Priority Reform One - Formal Partnerships and Shared Decision-Making.
