THE FRAMEWORK 2.11 In 2012, the Productivity Commission, on behalf of the Steering Committee, commissioned the Australian Council for Educational Research Ltd (ACER) to review the report. The ACER review found that most users considered the report to be a useful compendium of information on the wellbeing of Indigenous Australians. However, the review made a number of recommendations for changes to the reports production and content (ACER 2012). The Steering Committee developed a set of proposed responses to the ACER review (SCRGSP 2013), which formed the basis of national consultations. Following those consultations, the Steering Committee agreed a set of final responses, which were implemented for the 2014 report (SCRGSP 2014b). The two major changes implemented with the 2014 report were: increased Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander engagement in all phases of the reporting process a greater focus on strengths-based reporting and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians conceptions of wellbeing. Increased Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander engagement Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians have been actively involved with the OID report since its inception. The report had its origins in a recommendation of the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation in 2000, and ATSIC was a member of the working group that advised the Steering Committee on the first edition of the report. The National Congress of Australias First Peoples (established in 2010) is represented on the working group that advises the Steering Committee on this report. (The Congress has made clear to the Steering Committee that its involvement is not a substitute for engagement with the broader Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.) Each edition of the report has benefited from consultations with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians in all states and territories, and in a range of remoteness areas. Commencing with the 2014 report, the previous practice of engaging a single Indigenous academic referee was expanded, with different Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations or experts reviewing each section of the report. For this report, the name of the reviewer is noted in relevant sections and all reviewers are acknowledged on p. xiv, but the final content of the report remains the responsibility of the Steering Committee. The Steering Committee is extremely grateful to these organisations and individuals, and acknowledges the significant contributions they have made to the report.
