The short answer is yes. Our government is committed to improving outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in all areas of Australia. We do know that holistic wraparound services provided by community controlled organisations are critical to achieving positive outcomes in First Nations communities. It's why we continue to direct investment to and work in partnership with the community controlled sector. As an example, in the Closing the Gap speech earlier this year, the Prime Minister announced $144 million to upgrade community controlled services. From maternal health to mental health, in remote Australia and in the cities, we are determined to grow community controlled solutions. We're investing in co-design, we are listening to communities, and we are determined to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in all areas in our country.
