This government is determined to ensure real changes and improvements in health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. I recently announced the development of an implementation plan for the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Plan before the end of the year. We will be developing a targeted on-the-ground implementation plan in order to translate those good intentions into actions. It is only through targeted and strategic action on the ground that real outcomes can be realised. I would like to acknowledge the important work that has gone into the health plan by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, stakeholders, peak groups and representative organisations, who contributed to the framework. I look forward to working with those stakeholders so that we can ensure we turn that very good framework into real action and real outcomes on the ground.
