This paper provides an update on the state of economic inequality in Australia, reviewing the period of the COVID-19 induced recession and recovery. It also deep dives into economic inequality for three cohorts - women, older people and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

This research project used mixed methods to collect data and develop funding model options that enable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children to access high quality, culturally safe early childhood education and support services that meet their developmental and wellbeing needs.

The findings outlined in this report provide further evidence on the effectiveness of healing programs for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people experiencing and/or using family violence. This report highlights the urgent need for sustainable, long-term funding for healing programs conceived of and led by First Nations people.

The framework outlined in this report can be used to categorise the wide range of initiatives and events currently taking place in Australia under the heading of ‘truth-telling’. It also helps to distinguish what cannot meaningfully be described as truth-telling.

This report summarises the latest information health outcomes, health system performance and the broader determinants of health for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (First Nations) people, drawing from the Health Performance Framework (HPF) measures.
