Closing the Gap

Today is national 'Close the Gap' Day so it seems an appropriate time to start discussing different perspectives on service provision to Indigenous people, both within discrete communities and in urban areas. Over the next few days, I'll be providing links to relevant articles, media releases and campaigns, as well as summarising papers on the issue. There is a 17-year gap in life expectancy between the Indigenous and non-Indigenous people within Australia and closing it requires innovation, consultation and informed policy.

If you have an opinion on CTG or have read something or informative on the issue, please feel free to contribute. It's only through the free-flow of ideas that the status quo changes in a constructive way.
