Governments must be held to account for implementing commitments and reaching targets set under the National Agreement. This includes identifying, developing or strengthening an independent mechanism that will support, monitor and report on the transformation of mainstream agencies and institutions consistent with clause 67 of the National Agreement.
Victoria’s independent mechanism will be progressed through Victoria’s Treaty process, in partnership with the Partnership Forum and the First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria.
This Agreement commits the Victorian Government to work with Ngaweeyan Maar-oo to develop and agree additional accountability measures for Closing the Gap implementation. Monitoring and annual reporting against the Closing the Gap outcomes and targets is essential to accountability and ensuring that both First Peoples and the broader community have access to regular information on progress.
