National Close the Gap Day will take place on Thursday 18 March 2021.
Organising and running a National Close the Gap Day activity is easy and fun.
Each activity plays an important role. By spreading the word, collecting pledges and showing your support, you will help hold governments to account on their commitment towards health equality for all Australians.
Your National Close the Gap Day activity can be any size and shape, even held on a day of your choosing – whatever suits you. What is most important is that you take part and help us demand health equality for First Peoples of Australia.
