For the first time, the federal budget has included dedicated funding for Aboriginal community-controlled organisations SNAICC and NATSIEC.
The national advocacy group for First Nations children and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Corporation will receive a total of $29.1 million over 4 years to work with the government on early childhood and education.
SNAICC CEO Catherine Liddle has told Biwa Kwan that it is important that Aboriginal community-controlled organisations have the resources to continue their work to help achieve the Closing the Gap outcomes.
