National Indigenous Violence and Child Abuse Intelligence Task Force (NIITF)
Collection Priorities

The Information Support Package (ISP) has been developed by the National Indigenous Violence and Child Abuse Intelligence Task Force (NIITF).

The aim of the ISP is to provide an overview of our collection priorities. The ISP also provides an opportunity for agencies and individuals to contribute to the NIITF.

The NIITF has a focus on understanding violence, child abuse, substance abuse, pornography and fraud in
Indigenous communities. In order for the NIITF to gain an understanding of these issues, a list of collection priorities has been developed and is provided below.
