close the gap

Smiley joins the campaign to close the gap on indigenous health in Australia.

Indigenous men and women die up to 17 years earlier than other Australians and Indigenous children are dying at more than double the rate of non-Indigenous children.

 

Commonwealth and State governments are failing their duty to care for the Australian indigenous.
