Indigenous Evaluation Strategy

The Commission sought further information and feedback following the release of the draft strategy on 3 June 2020. Submissions were due by 3 August 2020.

The Commission released an issues paper to guide people in preparing a submission. It set out some of the issues and questions the Commission has identified as relevant at the early stage of the project.

Participants should have provided evidence to support their views, including data and specific examples where possible. The paper was released on 26 June 2019. Initial submissions were due by 23 August 2019.

The Australian Government asked the Productivity Commission to develop a whole-of-government evaluation strategy for policies and programs affecting Indigenous Australians, to be used by all Australian Government agencies.

The Commission will also review the performance of agencies against the strategy over time. We have consulted widely with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, communities and organisations, and with all levels of government. 

We also consulted with non-Indigenous organisations and individuals responsible for administering and delivering relevant policies and programs.
