Indigenous Economic Development Strategy released

The Indigenous Economic Development Strategy 2011–2018 is an Australian Government policy framework that aims to support the increased personal and economic wellbeing of Indigenous Australians through greater participation in the economy.

The Strategy has five priorities: to strengthen foundations to create an environment that supports economic development; to invest in education; to encourage participation and improve access to skills development and jobs; to support the growth of Indigenous business and entrepreneurship; and to assist individuals and communities to achieve financial security and independence by increasing their ability to identify, build and make the most of economic assets.
