Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander

The Close the Gap campaign has achieved a tremendous amount since its launch by Cathy Freeman and Ian Thorpe in 2006. These outcomes include:

• a commitment by government and all major political parties to take action through the formal signing of the Statement of Intent
• allocation of additional health funding through COAG; and
• a stated intention to work in partnership with Indigenous health organisations and communities.

Take action now and support Indigenous health equality:
