HEALTH AND WELLBEING

Good health directly improves education and employment outcomes. Sadly, the gap is widening with five of the seven closing the gap targets tracking poorly.

promote health-seeking behaviour. Innovative family-centred models integrating culturally safe, trauma informed case-management with comprehensive medical, health, mental health, allied health, and wellbeing services are needed to tackle the health gap.
