The Commonwealth, State, Territory and New Zealand Ministers’ Conference on the Status of Women (MINCO) met on 17 September 2010 in Canberra. For information on key items of discussion and decisions made at this meeting, see the MINCO 2010 Communiqué.
At MINCO 2010, the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Women’s Gathering (NATSIWG) Working Group presented a suite of recommendations to Women’s Ministers. These recommendations were developed at a Gathering in May 2010, which brought grass roots Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women from around Australia together to discuss and provide advice on issues of national significance impacting on their communities. See the communiqué outlining Women’s Ministers’ response to these recommendations.
