Indigenous reporting

The Steering Committee for the Review of Government Service Provision, established by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG), produces four streams of Indigenous reporting. These reports, listed below, contribute to a better understanding of the disadvantage that limits the opportunities and choices of many Indigenous people, and assist governments to assess the adequacy, effectiveness and efficiency of government services to Indigenous Australians.

The Productivity Commission provides secretariat support to the Steering Committee.
