Close the Gap pledge
To achieve health equality for Indigenous Australians within 25 years we call on the Australian Government to:
- Develop a comprehensive National Action Plan with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their representative bodies
- Increase Indigenous community participation and control in the delivery of health services
- Address the critical social issues of housing, education and self-determination
Join us in demanding Indigenous health equality within a generation by signing the Close the Gap pledge on the Oxfam website. 138,424 pledges have been taken and the target is 150,000.
