Improving employment rates of Indigenous Australians remains an ongoing challenge. While The Council of Australian Governments (COAG) committed to halving the gap in employment outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians by 2018, this target was not met. In fact, the proportion of Indigenous Australians who were employed was relatively unchanged between 2008 (48 per cent) and 2018-2019 (49 per cent) according to the above report.
