Framework Agreements on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health
The Agreements on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health (Framework Agreements) are the primary vehicle for ensuring collaboration in resource allocation, joint planning and priority setting for service delivery between key stakeholders in Indigenous health within each state and territory.
The Framework Agreements website has been developed for individual
states and territories to provide information regarding Framework
partners, Agreements, other related documents, and key organisations.
Some information is currently available for some states and territories.

New Indigenous Road Safety Community of Practice
A new series of web pages have been created to support the development of the Indigenous Road Safety Community of Practice (view webpages). The aim is to bring together knowledge on Indigenous road safety, and to increase information-sharing among practitioners working in this area, in order to develop more effective and appropriate ways of reducing road trauma for Indigenous Australians. The Community of Practice will be formally launched nationally on 2 December 2005.
The road safety web pages include: a summary of road safety among Indigenous Australians; background information; information on policies and strategies, programs, projects and recommendations, lessons learned; resources; and publications, including a bibliography. They also include electronic services to support information sharing and networking among people who live in different locations and work for different organisations.
If you are working or studying in areas that deal with Indigenous
road safety we invite you to become a member of the Road Safety
Community of Practice and begin the information-sharing process
(view
Community of Practice information). For further information
