. @briscoe_karl Our Close the Gap Campaign 2025 Annual Report, highlights Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leadership in closing the gap This year’s themes of agency, leadership, and reform underscore the pivotal role Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders and communities continue to play in embedding the four Priority Reform Areas outlined in the National Agreement on Closing the Gap. The Close the Gap Campaign has released its annual report, emphasising both the ongoing challenges and the tangible solutions needed to close the health and wellbeing gap for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The report showcases how the closing the gap priority reform areas are being implemented to create lasting change. A central focus of this year’s report is the success of First Nations leaders who are actively shaping solutions and paving the way to close the gap. These leaders and their organisations have shown steadfast commitment to advancing the rights and aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities-ensuring the survival, dignity and wellbeing of Indigenous Australians. “We are proud to share this report, which not only highlights the achievements made in the pursuit of equity and justice but also reinforces the importance of continuing to elevate Indigenous voices,” said Karl Briscoe, Co-Chair of Close the Gap. ‘ This campaign, our work, is about amplifying and championing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-led solutions and showing how our leadership is the key to achieving genuine, sustainable reform.”. Briscoe’s sentiments were echoed by fellow Close the Gap Co-Chair, Commissioner Katie Kiss, who also stressed the significance of holding governments accountable for their commitments. “Our recommendations in this report are clear,” Kiss stated. “We urge all levels of government to fulfill their obligations under the National Agreement on Closing the Gap. This landmark policy initiative is the most comprehensive to date, aimed at delivering improved outcomes across critical health and wellbeing indicators for First Nations peoples. All state and territory governments have signed onto the National Agreement, and they must be held accountable for its implementation.” The Close the Gap Campaign report underscores the importance of building an enabling environment at the departmental and agency level, where the targets set by the National Agreement can be effectively achieved at the local level. According to Commissioner Kiss, without the proper framework, progress will remain stagnated. “Through their collective efforts, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have made meaningful strides. However, there is still much more to be done to ensure that the health and wellbeing of First Nations peoples are truly prioritised.” she added. As the Close the Gap Campaign continues its mission, the report serves as both a celebration of the progress made and a call to action for the ongoing work required to achieve true equality and justice.
