About

Purpose

TPG24-26 First Nations Impact Assessment Policy provides directions to NSW General Government Sector (GGS) agencies on when and how to complete First Nations impact assessments for new measures.

Overview

All GGS agencies must prepare First Nations impact assessments for new measures that meet the mandatory eligibility criteria. First Nations impact assessments provide evidence on how new measures will impact First Nations people and communities, and the extent to which First Nations voices have informed the policy design. This forms part of the NSW Government’s Closing the Gap commitment to better align government investment with the needs, priorities and aspirations of First Nations communities in New South Wales.

TPG24-26 First Nations Impact Assessment Policy comes into effect on 1 November 2024.
