The Path to Reconciliation Annual Progress Report 2020 – An Advisory Committee was established for the development of the draft Indigenous Partnership Strategy Framework (IPSF) that included seventeen Indigenous members with extensive knowledge in the Indigenous health field.

Four key guiding principles were used:

• Indigenous History
• Traditional Knowledge and Wellness
• Indigenous and Human Rights
• Systems and Structures
