Close the Gap is one of the government strategies that targets to minimise the disadvantages of the Aboriginals and the To

This organisation helps the abovementioned groups of people to live a better life by decreasing their rate of child mortality, increasing their life expectancy, achievement in education, accessibility to basic amenities, such as education, healthcare and transportation, as well as enhancing employment opportunities (Australian Human Rights Commission, 2018).
