Indigenous.gov.au: connecting with First Nations Australians

​​The REAL Program supports First Nations people leaving the justice system to reconnect with community and build pathways to employment and learning through culturally informed, community-led support initiatives.

​​Grants to create new jobs in remote areas are now open – giving communities the opportunity to have their say in what roles are needed.

The Australian Government has released the 2025 Closing the Gap Annual Report and the 2026 Implementation Plan. These documents show what has been achieved in partnership with First Nations communities, and what the Government will focus on next.
