Review of the National Agreement on Closing the Gap

The Law Council is grateful for the opportunity to provide input to the Productivity Commission’s Review of the National Agreement on Closing the Gap (the review).¹

The Law Council has long supported the Closing the Gap framework. It particularly welcomed the inclusion of Socioeconomic Outcomes linked to the justice sector, which were added to the refreshed National Agreement on Closing the Gap (the National Agreement) in July 2020.

The present draft report sets out the Productivity Commission’s findings and recommendations on the ongoing implementation of the National Agreement in 2023.

Under the terms of the National Agreement, the Productivity Commission is required to undertake a comprehensive review of progress every three years.² As the National Agreement was concluded in 2020, this is the first review process undertaken.
