The Reconciliation Action Plan 2010–2012

This plan outlines the ways in which the department will further the national reconciliation agenda and assist in closing the gap on Indigenous disadvantage.

Initiatives within the plan seek to:

• promote greater understanding and build positive relationships between non-Indigenous and Indigenous people
• contribute to the elimination of the 17-year gap in life expectancy between Indigenous and non Indigenous Australians by attracting, recruiting and retaining an increased number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff.

The department's Reconciliation Action Plan is available.
