    Summary Information:
    The Office of Indigenous Policy Coordination (OIPC) was established on 1 July 2004. It was then a part of the Department of Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs (DIMIA), but is now part of the Department of Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaCSIA). OIPC is responsible for the national coordination of the whole-of-government approach to the provision of programs and services to Indigenous Australians. OIPC's role is:
  • 'to be the primary source of advice on Indigenous issues to the Minister for Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs
  • to coordinate and drive whole-of-government innovative policy development and service delivery across the Australian Government
  • to develop new ways of engaging directly with Indigenous Australians at the regional and local level, including through: - Regional Partnership Agreements (where there is local interest) to customise and shape Australian Government interventions in a region - Shared Responsibility Agreements at community/clan/family level
  • to broker relations with State and Territory Governments on Indigenous issues
  • to evaluate and report on the performance of government programs and services for Indigenous people to inform policy review and development
  • to communicate government policy directions to Indigenous people and the community generally
  • to manage a number of Indigenous programs' (OIPC, 'About OIPC: Functions').
