The Australian Government released its Indigenous Economic Development Strategy 2011–2018 on 19 October 2011. Approved money management courses are free courses that can help participants to improve their financial skills. They can teach participants how to budget, how to develop a savings plan and to understand debt and credit. The Cape York Welfare Reforms are a complex set of strategies which aim to lead four communities in Cape York to adopt more pro-social norms and behaviours and in particular to lessen the dependence of individuals on welfare.
The reforms are key to making progress on the Government's aim of halving the employment gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians within a decade.
