What is the gap?Show answer
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples experience poorer health status than non-Indigenous Australians, including lower life expectancy, higher rates of chronic disease, higher infant mortality and a higher burden of disease. These differences arise from a combination of biological, sociocultural and environmental factors, layered on the ongoing effects of colonisation, dispossession and discrimination. Initiatives aim to close these gaps.
What is mapping to social justice?Show answer
The principles of social justice are equity, access, participation and rights (often expressed as diversity).
