I can only speak for myself and in terms of Education and Juvenile Justice in NSW and what you say is correct.
The changes in both those areas from the time I began my career until I finished 40 years later was 'chalk and cheese' in terms of specific programming and educational opportunities for indigenous children.
Just about all of these programs are developed and delivered primarily by or in collaboration with indigenous people. (teachers, aides elders)
For many years schools in Juvenile Justice have had a specific Indigenous teacher's aides/consultants.
Cross curriculum areas have contained an indigenous perspective.
I suspect every state would have documentation similar to this....

Education is one of the core pathways in progressing the opportunities for young indigenous people.
That's not to say that there isn't still a long way to go in a whole range of areas.
Some problems will take an extra effort and resources.
But to say there has been no progress is not correct.
