This essay examines the "Closing the Gap" (CTG) policy, a framework designed by the Australian government to address health and social disadvantages faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The essay delves into the policy's history, including the data and events that led to its creation, while also acknowledging the challenges and barriers it has faced. The analysis focuses on a case study of Judy, a 57-year-old Aboriginal woman with type 2 diabetes and a leg ulcer. It explores how three key social determinants of health – socio-economic status, access to primary care, and access to nutritious food – impact Judy's condition and are addressed within the CTG policy. Furthermore, the essay discusses the potential benefits of Judy's registration on CTG, including access to healthcare facilities and support programs. The role of Aboriginal Medical Services (AMS) and Aboriginal Liaison Officers is also examined, emphasizing their importance in providing culturally appropriate healthcare and support. The essay concludes by highlighting the need for increased primary care services in remote communities to improve health outcomes for Indigenous Australians. The essay is supported by current and relevant evidence-based literature and health statistics.
