Community Development Plan

As part of the place-based partnership project Tamworth Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations has developed a draft Community Development Plan to guide the priorities for the Tamworth Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. The purpose of the Plan is to identify and set clear ACTIONS that aim to improve the overall health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living and working in the Tamworth Local Government Area, providing opportunities for equal access to services and foundations that encourage and support cultural identity.

OUR ORGANISATIONS


National Agreement - Closing the Gap
‍
For the first time, the National Agreement on Closing the Gap establishes a collaborative effort between all levels of government and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations. This joint responsibility increases the potential for achieving the outlined targets, and the incorporation of frequent, independent reporting mechanisms adds transparency and accountability to the commitment's delivery.
‍
With five Priority Reforms altering the government's approach, it includes 17 socioeconomic outcome targets covering education, employment, health, justice, safety, housing, land, waters, languages, and digital inclusion. The agreement encourages shared responsibility with frequent, independent reporting to monitor progress and ensure accountability for fulfilling the commitments.

Through the reforms, the agreement aims to transform the dynamics between the government and Indigenous communities, promoting a holistic approach to socioeconomic advancement and bridging the gaps in equality.
