Introduction

Acknowledgement of Country, language statement, forewords and purpose of the report.

Summary of key outcomes in the Report

Key themes include family, learning and skills, opportunity and prosperity, health and wellbeing, justice and safety, culture and Country.

Aboriginal self-determination

Embedding self-determination across government, treaty and government investment.

Children, family and home

Encouraging Aboriginal children and families to be strong in culture and proud of their unique identity can ensure that every Aboriginal child has the best start in life.

Learning and skills

Culturally-supportive and responsive learning spaces are vital for creating an environment where Aboriginal students feel supported to achieve their learning aspirations and excel.

Opportunity and prosperity

Fully participating in the economy provides Aboriginal Victorians with the resources they need to determine the future they want. Economic participation is key to Aboriginal self-determination.

Health and wellbeing

Improving health outcomes and having a good quality of life will ensure all Victorian Aboriginal communities can thrive.

Justice and safety

Systemic and structural barriers that Aboriginal people experience, such as racism and social and economic disadvantage, can lead to over-representation in the justice system.

Culture and Country

The richness and diversity of Aboriginal history and culture in Victoria, and the resilience and strength of Aboriginal communities and peoples, is something for all Victorians to celebrate.
