TASK DESCRIPTION
Closing the Gap in health equality between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians is an agreed national priority.
The nation wants continued focus and action in order to close the unacceptable health and life expectancy gap.
All political parties have committed to end the health equality gap by 2030, supported by almost 200,000 Australians who made the pledge.
Over the five-year period (2005-2007 to 2010-2012), life expectancy is estimated to have increased by 1.6 years for males and by 0.6 of a year for females. But a life expectancy gap of around ten years remains for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people when compared with non-Indigenous people.

The goal of inclusive practice is to be aware of, and responsive to, the needs of all people (De Chesnay, 2005, p. 18), and to provide health care based on the principles of social justice (Royal College of Nursing [RCN], 2008). In this context it means that as health professionals we also work to understand and break down barriers of inequality in access to health care. Our goal is to improve the health of all people, irrespective of their background, culture or beliefs.
