Priority Reform Four Clause Samples
The 'Priority Reform Four' clause establishes a framework for ensuring that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have access to shared data and information resources relevant to their communities. In practice, this clause may require parties to provide timely, transparent, and culturally appropriate access to data, as well as support for Indigenous data sovereignty initiatives. Its core function is to empower Indigenous communities by giving them greater control over and benefit from information that affects their lives, thereby addressing historical imbalances in data access and use.

Most of these state / territory Peak coalitions include other significant Aboriginal and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islander organisations in their jurisdictions with an interest in Closing the Gap as members and have procedures to allow others to apply. Peaks in other states are likely to form themselves into coalitions in the coming months in order to support increased engagement and representation from Aboriginal and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islander community-controlled organisations in implementing the National Agreement. The Parties to the Partnership Agreement (referred to as the Partnership Parties) are the Coalition of Peaks and the Government Parties. The National Agreement on Closing the Gap (National Agreement) was negotiated in accordance with the principles and structures elaborated in the Partnership Agreement. It came into effect on 27 July 2020, replacing COAG’s National Indigenous Reform Agreement (NIRA) which commenced in 2008. The National Agreement extends the shared decision-making and partnership approach of the Partnership Agreement from between governments and the Coalition of Peaks to more partnership arrangements with other Aboriginal and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islander organisations and communities.

Together with the Coalition of Peaks, the Government Parties have also committed to targets for the Priority Reforms, which will measure the change governments are making in the way they work with Aboriginal and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islander people, as well as socio-economic targets which focus on measuring the outcomes experienced by Aboriginal and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islander people. The National Agreement also sets up a process of implementation planning to achieve the Agreement’s objectives and outcomes. Each Party to the Agreement will develop an Implementation Plan, relevant to its responsibilities and commitments. There are also shared actions, and shared accountability and oversight mechanisms, requiring ongoing shared decision-making through the Partnership. Jurisdictional Implementation Plans will be developed and delivered in partnerships between governments, the Coalition of Peaks and other Aboriginal and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islander partners.
