View answerThere is a whole-of-government approach to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A list of the policies and strategies that underpin my Department's engagement with specific SDGs, either as lead Department or as a stakeholder, is appended to the SDG National Implementation Plan 2018-2020.
Work on the preparation of the next National Implementation Plan will be coordinated through the SDG Interdepartmental Working Group, which is attended by officials from my Department. This work will include a full review and appropriateness of the specific SDG targets that fall under the aegis of my Department.
