This essay delves into the Closing the Gap (CTG) policy, examining its historical context, data influencing its creation, and its significance in shaping health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The discussion encompasses the challenges and barriers that have affected these outcomes, alongside an analysis of the impact of diabetes on Judy, a 57-year-old Aboriginal woman, and how the CTG addresses her condition, including its long-term consequences on health and social determinants. Furthermore, the essay explores the benefits of Judy's registration with the CTG, its influence on her social determinants, and defines the roles of the Aboriginal Medical Service (AMS) and the Aboriginal Liaison Officer (ALO). It also explains the reasons behind the referral of Judy to the community health center by the AMS and ALO, outlining the services they provide and the relationship between the health systems, ultimately aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of the policy's impact and the support structures available to Indigenous Australians.
