The National Indigenous Australians Agency is working to improve food security for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across Australia.
Food Security means having continuous access to a range of food, drinks and other essential groceries that are reasonably priced, safe and meet the dietary and cultural needs of the household.
Food insecurity is often higher for those living in remote and very remote areas across Australia.
Food security is essential to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples health and wellbeing. The work of the NIAA to improve food security is essential to progress outcomes of the National Agreement on Closing the Gap. The 2024 Commonwealth Closing the Gap Implementation Plan recognises remote food security as a national priority, providing a range of initiatives to improve remote food security.
