First Nations Impact Assessments Framework

Embedding the Priority Reforms in the design and delivery of new policies and decision-making at the highest levels of governments is pivotal to driving systemic transformation. The Commonwealth is committed to strengthening processes for the Australian Public Service to meaningfully engage throughout policy development in Budget and Cabinet frameworks to elevate consideration of First Nations impacts in all new policies. The Commonwealth will implement a First Nations Impact Assessments Framework to support Australian Public Service agencies to implement the Priority Reforms in the development of new policies and programs by appropriately considering the impact on First Nations peoples.
