What do we mean when we talk about the 'gap' between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians?
The gap is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples dying more than a decade younger. It’s the long-term, psychological impacts of generations of disadvantage and racism. And it’s living with much higher rates of preventable disease than the rest of the country.
We do not accept the gap. And you don’t have to either. Around Australia there are many people working hard to Close the Gap. People with solutions, ideas and energy. You too, can demand Indigenous health equality. Learn more: www.oxfam.org.au/nationalday
