COAG Protocol on Indigenous Affairs

The COAG Protocol on Indigenous Affairs is an agreement among Australian governments aimed at improving the lives of Indigenous people. Originating from the Council of Australian Governments (COAG), it outlines strategies for better cooperation between federal, state, and territory governments to address issues like health, education, and land rights. The protocol emphasizes respect, recognition of Indigenous cultures, and the importance of engaging with Indigenous communities in decision-making processes. Its goal is to promote equality and improve socioeconomic outcomes for Indigenous Australians while fostering a collaborative approach to policy development and implementation.
