The new National Agreement on Closing the Gap – developed in partnership between governments and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people – recognises that Aboriginal people are best placed to determine and deliver services to meet their needs and cultural requirements. To achieve this priority, the Tasmanian Government has established the Closing the Gap Capacity Building Funding Program, with a total funding pool of $5.3 million. Funding will be available to Aboriginal Community-Controlled Organisations to build their capacity to co-design and deliver programs and services for Aboriginal people, by Aboriginal People.
