National strategic framework for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health 2003-2013: Australian Government implementation plan 2003-2008.

This implementation plan details the Australian Government's current response to recommendations made in the National Strategic Framework for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health 2003-2013 to improve health outcomes for Indigenous Australians. It describes existing and planned action by the Australian Government, including programs and policy approaches where the Commonwealth is contributing to multilateral initiatives involving Indigenous health and community organisations, State and Territory governments, and government agencies outside the health sector.

National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Council (2004)

National strategic framework for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health 2003-2013: framework for action by governments.

Canberra: National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Council

The National Strategic Framework builds on the National Aboriginal Health Strategy (1989) (view Framework and Strategy documents). It draws together nationally agreed strategies to address specific health problems, state and territory policies and plans and the national collaborative policy and planning frameworks within which Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health programs are managed. The report details nine principles on which the National Strategic Framework is based and describes three central desired outcomes:

  • towards a more effective and responsive health system;
  • influencing the health impacts of the non-health sector; and
  • providing the infrastructure to improve health status.

The conclusion describes the implementation and evaluation plans and identifies the responsible organisations.
