A $378 million reparations package for Stolen Generations survivors will be at the centre of a new $1 billion Federal Government commitment to Closing the Gap.
The government is set to today reveal its initial plan for meeting the commitments agreed on in the new Closing the Gap agreement with state and territory governments, and peak Indigenous groups, last year.
The new Closing the Gap agreement set a number of new targets, including reducing the number of Indigenous youths in custody, improving early education, and improving life expectancy.

Today's announcement will set out the early stages of the plan.
The reparations package will offer one-off payments to any survivors of the Stolen Generations of $75,000, as well as the opportunity for a formal individual apology from the government.
