NSW CAPO is holding engagement sessions with Aboriginal communities all over NSW to talk about Closing the Gap in NSW. These sessions will:<ul><li>Share information about how local Aboriginal communities can make Closing the Gap work for them.</li></ul><ul><li>Give communities the chance to give feedback on the work being done in NSW to implement the National Agreement on Closing the Gap.</li></ul> If you're unable to register for a free ticket, you are still welcome to attend the Community Engagement Session and share your thoughts. Registrations assist us in making sure we have enough catering and enough seats available for community. These engagements are intended to be a culturally safe place for Aboriginal Communities to talk openly about Closing the Gap. NSW CAPO acknowledges that community members work within government organisations, and they are welcome to attend the sessions as community members.We do not record the names of people speaking to respect the privacy of all attendees, and government staff should feel welcome to take their government hats off and speak freely as members of the community. We ask all government employees to respect this as culturally safe space and engage in the spirit intended.

It marked a momentous shift in the way governments approach Closing the Gap – from focusing only on gaps and targets, to genuinely sharing decision-making with Aboriginal people and embedding the Priority Reforms to transform government. The Priority Reforms are the real game-changer of the National Agreement. They are:<ol><li>Partnership and shared decision-making</li><li>Building the community-controlled sector</li><li>Transforming government</li><li>Data</li><li>Employment and economic prosperity (NSW-specific)</li></ol>
