Genuine engagement with Indigenous people is a key aspect in overcoming Indigenous disadvantage. This resource sheet examines the research evidence on what works - and what doesn't - in engaging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities with services and policies in Australia. It draws on the literature from three sectors: early childhood services; environmental and natural resource management (NRM) activities; and health programs. This resource sheet complements the issues paper 'Engaging with Indigenous Australia - exploring the conditions for effective relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities', which outlines evidence of Indigenous engagement more generally, in Australia and overseas.
