An independent analysis by Gargun provides the most comprehensive assessment to date of the Cape York Leaders Program and its long-term impact on young people from remote Indigenous communities. Drawing on two decades of program data, the report examines how structured opportunity, mentoring and high-quality education pathways are influencing outcomes in schooling, employment and income for students across Cape York.
The findings presented in this report demonstrate clear evidence of change – not through short-term initiatives, but through sustained investment in capability and leadership. Gargun’s independent evaluation offers an objective look at what is working, where gains are strongest, and how the program is contributing to closing the gap for young people in one of the most disadvantaged regions of the country.
