Closing the Gap Dashboard and Annual Data Compilation Report 2024
Progress and setbacks on Closing the Gap targets
Commissioners Selwyn Button and Natalie Siegel-Brown highlight key takeouts from the data and report.
New data has been added to the Closing the Gap dashboard for July 2024, which provides the most up-to-date information available on the targets and indicators in the National Agreement on Closing the Gap (the Agreement).
The 2024 Annual Data Compilation Report (ADCR), a snapshot of progress towards the Agreement, shows that five of 19 targets are on track to be met.
The report includes new data for nine targets since last year. Improvements in two targets means they are now on track: healthy birthweights and sea country subject to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s rights.
However, an increase in the rate of young people in detention means that this target is no longer on track to be met.
A further five targets show improvement but are not on track to be met, while progress towards four targets is worsening.
