Aboriginal Peak Organisations Northern Territory — APO NT
Closing the Gap
APO NT partners with the NT Government’s Office of Aboriginal Affairs to jointly chair the partnership working group on Closing the Gap in the NT, and to coordinate and lead the work directed by the Northern Territory Executive Council on Aboriginal Affairs.
NT Remote Aboriginal Investment
APO NT has jointly partnered with NIAA and NT Government to share decision making and deliver the Remote Aboriginal Investment in the NT. The agreement commits $842.6 million over six years to enable substantive and enduring opportunities for self-determination for remote Aboriginal communities to close the gap in life outcomes between those communities and other Australians.

Aboriginal Education
APO NT has been funded by NT Government’s Department of Education to establish an Aboriginal Education Peak Body in the NT by the conclusion of 2024. We have established a Steering Group of Aboriginal education experts from around the NT to guide the development of this peak body, and inform the policy platform and approach it will take.
Remote Jobs
APO NT has for many years advocated for a strong remote job policy and has worked with member organisations and Aboriginal partner organisations to develop a refreshed remote jobs platform to inform advocacy efforts in the context of CDP reform.
