National Target Setting Instrument: Evidence Based Best Practice Guide
The National Indigenous Health Equality Council (NIHEC) has developed the National Target Setting Instrument to inform target setting in Indigenous health. This work draws on comprehensive analysis of the evidence and what has been learnt over the years about successful target setting.
The Instrument includes analysis to inform how we are tracking against existing targets, with the key drivers and recommendations to support the Government’s commitment to close the gap in Indigenous disadvantage.
