The ANAO could assess the administration of Australian Government grant funding used to improve conditions in the 46 town camps located throughout the Northern Territory (NT). The audit could include funding provided under the Australian Government’s plan for A Better, Safer Future for Central Australia (Central Australia Plan) in addition to other grants programs. The National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA) is responsible for implementing the Central Australia Plan and Indigenous Advancement Strategy grant programs. Other Australian Government entities such as the Attorney-General’s Department; Department of Health, Disability and Ageing; and Department of Social Services also provide grant funding to organisations in the NT. Principle 4 of the Commonwealth Grants Rules and Principles (‘an outcomes orientation’) emphasises the importance of establishing clear objectives and performance evaluation and reporting. Principle 6 (‘achieving value with relevant money’) emphasises the importance of effective stakeholder engagement, risk management, design and ongoing monitoring and management.
