ACT closing the gap report 2013

Ministerial statement

MR RATTENBURY (Molonglo-Minister for Territory and Municipal Services, Minister for Corrections, Minister for Housing, Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs and Minister for Ageing) (4.17): I present the following paper:

ACT Closing the Gap Report 2013—ministerial statement, 8 August 2013.

Today I rise to present the ACT closing the gap report 2013. This report is a consolidation of the programs and initiatives the ACT government has implemented to assist in closing the gap on disadvantage experienced by members of our city’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. It builds upon the inaugural report tabled last year to include valuable information on the expenditure and service usage data for programs.

I would like to acknowledge the work of Dr Chris Bourke MLA who, as former Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs, was pivotal in the inaugural report and laying the foundations for subsequent work. This information is, of course, the first step of consistently evaluating our progress and the tools that will get us to our targets.
