Closing the Gap – once and for all
Australia locks up Aboriginal people at much higher rates than non-Indigenous people. Even in 2023, Aboriginal people are likely to live shorter lives, experience more violence, and be forcibly removed from their families as children.
We know these 'gaps' were caused by colonisation and discrimination. And we can only close the gap by investing in self-determination and confronting injustice wherever we see it.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which our offices stand and we pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge the sorrow of the Stolen Generations and the impacts of colonisation on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We also recognise the resilience, strength and pride of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples should be aware that this website may contain images or names of people who have since passed away.
