The Indigenous Employment Program (IEP)
The IEP ceased on 30 June 2014. The IEP was a component of the Commonwealth government's Indigenous Employment Policy administered by the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (PM&C).
Indigenous Advancement Strategy (IAS)
From 1 July 2014, the IEP was superseded by the Indigenous Advancement Strategy (IAS) which replaced more than 150 individual programs and activities with 5 flexible, broad-based programs:
- Jobs, land and economy – getting adults into work, fostering Indigenous business and assisting Indigenous people to generate economic and social benefits from the effective use of their land
- Children and schooling – getting children to school, improving education outcomes and supporting families to give children a good start in life
- Safety and wellbeing – ensuring that Indigenous people are healthy and enjoy the emotional and social wellbeing experienced by other Australians
- Culture and capability – supporting Indigenous Australians to maintain their culture, participate in the economic and social life of the nation and ensure that organisations are capable of delivering quality services to their clients
- Remote Australia strategies – addressing the social and economic disadvantage in remote Australia and supporting solutions based on community and government priorities
The National Indigenous Australians Agency has administrative responsibility for the IAS.
The Resources page contains a link to the IAS overview on the National Indigenous Australians Agency website.
