Australia has one of the highest life expectancies in the world. On average, Australians live to see their 83rd birthday. But for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, life expectancy is about eight years less. Closing the Gap is a national agreement designed to change that. By improving the health and wellbeing of First Nations, they can enjoy the same quality of life and opportunities as non-Indigenous Australians. - Australië heeft een van de hoogste levensverwachtingen ter wereld. Gemiddeld worden Australiërs 83 jaar oud. Maar voor Aboriginals en Torres Strait Islander-volkeren ligt de levensverwachting ongeveer acht jaar lager. Closing the Gap is een nationale overeenkomst die bedoeld is om daar verandering in te brengen. Door de gezondheid en het welzijn van First Nations te verbeteren, kunnen zij genieten van dezelfde levenskwaliteit en kansen als niet-inheemse Australiërs.
