Introduction
The TSRA operates to provide greater autonomy to and improve the lives of Torres Strait Islanders and Aboriginal peoples living in the Torres Strait and the communities of Bamaga and Seisia on the Northern Peninsula Area, by contributing to a healthier, safer and more prosperous region.
All TSRA partnerships, programs and services are developed and delivered in accordance with the principle of cultural empowerment and respect the unique cultural protocols of the Kaurareg, Maluilgal, Guda Maluiligal, Kulkalgal, Kemer Meriam, and Northern Peninsula Area peoples.
The key activities of this Corporate Plan are mapped against 16 of the 17 Closing the Gap Targets (Target 3 relates to early childhood education, outside our responsibility). TSRA’s activities in 2024–25 will contribute to progress against Targets 1-2 and 4-17, and these linkages are identified in our Performance Measures section.
