Overcoming Indigenous Disadvantage
The Overcoming Indigenous Disadvantage in Western Australia Report 2005 has been prepared to guide the delivery of better services to the Indigenous people of the State and to measure the impact of these services over time. The report uses the Overcoming Indigenous Disadvantage reporting framework, endorsed by the Council of Australian Governments, as the basis for bringing together Western Australian specific information to highlight areas of disadvantaged and need.
