The Aboriginal Policy and Coordination Unit received the following written submissions in response to the discussion paper: An office for advocacy and accountability in Aboriginal affairs in Western Australia, which was released on 7 June 2018.
The discussion paper outlines a proposal for a new statutory office to strengthen government’s accountability to Aboriginal Western Australians and to advocate for Aboriginal people’s interests in government policy and performance.
The office would be independent from the Government of the day, have statutory powers and work with a specific focus on Aboriginal people and the issues that matter to them.
