The six key targets that form the Closing the Gap objective are to: • close the life expectancy gap within a generation • halve the gap in mortality rates for Indigenous children under five within a decade • ensure access to early childhood education for all Indigenous four years olds in remote communities within five years • halve the gap in reading, writing and numeracy achievements for children within a decade • halve the gap for Indigenous students in Year 12 attainment or equivalent attainment rates by 2020 • halve the gap in employment outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians within a decade.
