Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women in Australia are killed at rates up to six times higher than non-Indigenous women, overwhelmingly by intimate partners or family members, yet new research shows that repeated government inquiries have failed to act on longstanding recommendations from Indigenous communities. A study of 32 submissions made to Australian federal parliamentary inquiries between 2020 and 2025 found that Aboriginal community-controlled organisations have consistently called for the same measures for over four decades: self-determination, Indigenous-led and culturally safe services, sustained funding, and genuine decision-making authority — not merely consultation. Advocates and independent lawmakers are now pressing for a statutory body empowered to publicly track whether governments implement these recommendations, arguing the core problem is no longer a lack of evidence but a lack of accountability.
