Mr Morrison, who is isolating in The Lodge in Canberra following an overseas trip, met online on Friday with senior ministers and the Coalition of Peaks - a representative body made up of more than 50 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled organisations.

In a statement after the meeting, Mr Morrison said the federal government's Closing the Gap implementation plan and "associated investments" would be released in early August.

The agreement was signed almost 12 months ago, with pledges of action on 17 socio-economic targets to improve the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

A recent Productivity Commission report found the gap in life expectancy between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people will not be closed within a generation based on current trends.

Death from suicide has surged in the past decade, showing no shift towards "a significant and sustained reduction in suicide towards zero".

A target of reducing the rate of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults held in incarceration by at least 15 per cent by 2031 will also be missed.

Instead, the rate is increasing.

However the proportion of babies born healthy and strong is improving, putting the healthy birth weight target on track to be met by 2031.

Increasing the proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children enrolled in early childhood education to 95 per cent by 2025 is also on track to be met. It stood at 93.1 per cent in 2020.

Reducing the rate of young people in detention by at least 30 per cent is also set to happen.

Closing the Gap reports are due to be presented to parliament annually, with the Productivity Commission regularly reviewing progress.
