Aboriginal Services Plans

Coloured graphic image

The Department of Human Services’ Aboriginal Services Plan (January 2004) is a three year plan with an annual reporting cycle. The Plan aims to achieve a demonstrable improvement in the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal people in Victoria in line with that of the general population by:

  • understanding the factors contributing to the disparity in health and wellbeing
  • maximising the use of primary and preventative services
  • minimising the representation of Aboriginal people in identified secondary and tertiary services.

In line with strategy 2.1 in the Plan, Regional Aboriginal Services Plans have also been developed or reviewed for each of the department’s regions, establishing, through consultation with Aboriginal communities, Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations and service providers, regional priority needs and issues, desired outcomes, specific actions and review mechanisms.

The 'Aboriginal Services Plan Key Indicators Reports' are available on the Koori Health website. This link will open in a new window or tab.
