This looks at the long- term implementation of programs and funding to improve the lives of Indigenous people, a group who has been disadvantaged and discriminated against, across many areas. One goal has been to close the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous life expectancy by 2031. In 2015 – 2017, life expectancy at birth was 71.6 years for Indigenous males (8.6 years less than non-Indigenous males) and 75.6 years for Indigenous females (7.8 years less than non-Indigenous females). Over the period 2006 to 2018, there was almost 10% improvement in Indigenous mortality rates, similar to those of non-Indigenous. Improvement for the Indigenous population was in the area of death from circulatory diseases such as heart disease, stroke and hyper-tension. However, there has been an increase in cancer mortality rates where the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people is widening. Another goal is to halve the gap for Australian Indigenous people aged 20 – 24 in Year 12 attainment by 2020. Over the past decade, the Year 12 attainment rate for Indigenous Australians increased from 45% in 2008 to 66% in 2018-19. The non-Indigenous rate also increased but only by 5 percentage points. Year 12 attainment is influenced by many positive and negative factors such as prior educational experience, access to schools, a culturally inclusive curriculum and skilled teachers. Some of the “Closing the Gap” initiatives have been more successful than others. TASK: Select two recent actions being taken in the area of improving life expectancy of Indigenous Australians and two recent actions in the area of improving the Year 12 attainment rate for Indigenous Australians and analyse their effectiveness. Use a Report format (attached). Use in-text referencing in your paragraphs = 2 to 3 different sources per paragraph. Use the Harvard guide to do the Reference List correctly.
