"A discussion paper to encourage debate and ideas on economic development and jobs for Indigenous Australians was released today by the Australian Government.
The Government is developing a new strategy to build the strong foundations necessary for sustainable Indigenous economic development across Australia.
The nationwide consultations, which start tomorrow, will focus on how to reform two existing employment and work-readiness programs – Community Development Employment Program (CDEP) and the Indigenous Employment Program (IEP). "
