Ten years into the campaign to Close the Gap, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health is improving, but not nearly fast enough.
Indigenous Australians can expect to live 10-17 years less that non-Indigenous Australians. Babies born to Aboriginal mothers die at twice the rate of other Australian babies, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people experience higher rates of preventable illness such as heart disease, kidney disease and diabetes.
The mortality rates for Indigenous Australians is on par with some of the world’s most impoverished nations. The United Nations report, The state of the world’s indigenous peoples (2009), indicated that Australia and Nepal have the world’s worst life expectancy gaps between indigenous and non-indigenous people.
Is this the Australia you want? We all deserve the chance to be healthy.
