Abstract
As we slowly move towards a post-COVID-19 world, it is timely to revisit the ongoing disparity in health outcomes across Australia. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people continue to experience lower life expectancy and higher morbidity than other Australians.1 Closing the Gap began in 2007, aiming to ‘close the health and life expectancy gap between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous Australians … by 2030’.2 However, at the 10-year review in 2018, it was clear that the gap is not closing.2
