This is the fourth Annual Data Compilation Report which reports progress under the National Agreement on Closing the Gap (the Agreement). The Agreement’s objective is to enable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and governments to work together to overcome the inequality experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and achieve life outcomes equal to all Australians.

Overall, data is available to report progress on 15 out of the 19 socio-economic targets. Five targets are on track, five targets show improvement but are not on track, progress for four targets is worsening and one has shown no change from the baseline.
