Close the Gap 2023

Today is Closing the Gap (CTG) Day.

Whilst CTG has been traditionally associated with improving Indigenous health outcomes, the initiative now spans much wider with targets set under the following outcome areas: health and wellbeing, education, employment, justice, safety, housing, land and waters, languages and digital inclusion.

Uniting Country SA acknowledges this important day and in so doing reflects our support for improving outcomes across a wide range of life domains for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders people.
