About
The Closing the Gap Information Repository comes from the National Agreement on Closing the Gap (the Agreement). The purpose of the information repository is to inform reporting on progress in Closing the Gap.
The information repository includes a dashboard and Annual Data Compilation Report:
- The dashboard provides the most up-to-date information available on the targets and indicators in the Agreement. The data will be available in different formats including visual.
- The Annual Data Compilation Report provides a point-in-time snapshot of the dashboard material.
Information about the targets and indicators will be added over time and will include reporting against agreed Priority Reform and socio-economic outcome targets and indicators.
Further, supporting material will be added over time to build on existing capability in accessing and interpreting the data reported.
The information repository is produced by the Productivity Commission.
