Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples live about 10 years less than non-indigenous Australians. Since 2006, the ‘closing the gap’ campaign has been pursued in collaboration between government and health, welfare and rights agencies to try and close the health and life expectancy gap within a generation. The health disadvantages experienced by indigenous Australians are shaped by history and the broader social and economic conditions in which they live; progress has been slow and mixed. This book evaluates the progress made towards closing the gap. How can indigenous outcomes be improved across a range of key social and economic determinants of health and wellbeing?
