05 January 2010This report details key actions taken by the Victorian government in 2008-09 financial year and measures performance against 23 indicators. It includes a demographic profile of Victoria’s Indigenous community, Indigenous governance arrangements and highlights the key partnership arrangements between individual departments and Indigenous communities. The report highlights the alignment between Council of Australian Governments objectives and the outcomes sought by the VIAF.

A feature of this year’s report is a focus on a particular area of the VIAF – Early Childhood Development and Education. The early years and schooling experience are vital to improving the life prospects of all children and young people. Improving the educational outcomes for Indigenous young people is essential to breaking the cycle of disadvantage.
