Closing the Gap
The Closing the Gap strategy was developed from then PM Kevin Rudd’s 2008 apology to indigenous Australians
The strategy is to “reduce Indigenous disadvantage with respect to life expectancy, child mortality, access to early childhood education, educational achievement, employment outcomes” within 25 years.
