Abstract

Since the handing down of the Muirhead Interim Report on the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody in 1988, State Aboriginal Affairs has been the agency in South Australia with the carriage of responsibility for monitoring efforts of State Government agencies in the implementation of the recommendations found in the final report. This paper outlines the monitoring mechanisms and research commissioned by State Aboriginal Affairs.
