Resources

We want to share our work with you and hear from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and organisations about how Closing the Gap is working in your communities. We are committed to providing you with information about the work of the Coalition of Peaks and commitments made by Australian governments on Closing the Gap so that you can talk to governments officials in your own communities about making the Partnership Agreement and the new National Agreement on Closing the Gap work for you.

We will update this page with resources on the new National Agreement on Closing the Gap when it is finalised by the end of July 2020.

Below you’ll find links to resources you can use in your own communities.
