This review is the New South Wales Government’s first step in identifying the specific barriers to economic participation experienced by First Nations women.

The review acknowledges that to support First Nations women to participate in the economy, we must first understand what economic prosperity means to First Nations people and empower them to participate in a meaningful and culturally safe way that does not detract from kinship obligations and cultural connection.

The review identifies the opportunities and resources that can help empower First Nations women to realise their economic potential. It will help guide the development and improvement of government initiatives, with a focus on better use of evidence and evaluation in their development.
