oversees the review and evaluation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander programs and strategies in the ACT. The Subcommittee arranges periodic gap analyses to ensure that the ACT Government service and funding approach is comprehensive and efficient.

The Subcommittee also has oversight on the development of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Outcomes Framework, which is due to be completed soon. The Office for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs is coordinating the development of the Outcomes Framework with input from all Directorates. The Outcome Framework will identify key community outcomes that all ACT Government Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander programs and services will need to demonstrate. This will move the government away from an input/output evaluation model and towards an outcome/impact evaluation approach.

The ACT Closing the Gap Report was previously used as the reporting tool for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Services in the ACT. The Closing the Gap Report will be retooled into an annual report on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs in the ACT. This annual report will report on the outcomes of programs and services.
