This audit would assess the effectiveness of the processes to design and co-ordinate programs to address rates of family and gendered violence, and out of home care, under the National Agreement on Closing the Gap.

Target 12 of the National Agreement on Closing the Gap is to reduce the rate of over-representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in out-of-home care by 45 per cent by 2031. Target 13 is to reduce the rate of all forms of family violence and abuse against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and children by at least 50 per cent by 2031. Both targets seek to achieve the goal of stronger families. The Australian government has agreed to commitments under the National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children 2022–2032 and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Action Plan 2023–25. The Department of Social Services plays a leading role in supporting the achievement of targets 12 and 13. The National Indigenous Australians Agency is responsible for leading and coordinating the development and implementation of Australia’s Closing the Gap targets in partnership with Indigenous Australians.

The ANAO agreed to consider an audit into target 13 in response to recommendation 8 of the Senate Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs’ August 2024 report into Missing and Murdered First Nations Women and Children.

Justice reinvestment is a long-term, community-led approach that aims to prevent crime, address the drivers of contact with the justice system, and improve justice outcomes for First Nations peoples in a particular place or community. Justice reinvestment aligns with Outcomes 10 and 11 and the Priority Reforms under the National Agreement on Closing the Gap, to reduce the overrepresentation of young people and adults in the criminal justice system. In the October 2022 Budget $69 million was committed over 4 years (from 2022–23) to establish a National Justice Reinvestment Program to support up to 30 community-led justice reinvestment initiatives, with ongoing funding of $20 million per year from 2026–27. In the 2023–24 Budget, an additional $10 million was committed over 4 years to support place-based justice reinvestment initiatives in the Central Australia region of the Northern Territory. Funding was delivered through open, non-competitive grant funding rounds. As of May 2025, information in relation to 25 grant agreements had been published valued at $55.4 million across the two funding rounds (with two assessment cycles in each round). A potential audit would examine the award of funding was in accordance with the Commonwealth Grant Rules and Principles.
