Indigenous Expenditure Report

The Indigenous Expenditure Report presents nationally comparable information on government expenditure on services to Indigenous Australians. It contributes to governments’ understanding of the levels and patterns of expenditure on services that relate to Indigenous Australians, and provides policy makers with an additional tool for targeting policies to Close the Gap in Indigenous disadvantage.

The report was commissioned by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) in December 2007. Two editions have been produced. The first edition, the 2010 Indigenous Expenditure Report, was released on 28 February 2011. The latest edition, the 2012 Indigenous Expenditure Report, was released on 4 September 2012.

The next report in this series will be released in late-2014.
