Last month we gathered for our Annual Blessing of Volunteers Service, which celebrated the unique and valuable contribution of each one, while highlighting the strength and compassion of their collective gift to our community. 🩵

Volunteers joined together in a sand ritual, creating a vase that forms a visual representation of this collective gift - which now takes pride of place at the entrance of the hospital for all to enjoy.

To all of our volunteers, thank you for giving your time so generously to support our patients, visitors and staff. 🙏

Today is National Close the Gap Day - a very important awareness day in Australia's cultural calendar. Especially when you realise that, shockingly, it is estimated that First Nations Peoples (who now account for 3.3% of Australia’s population) experience a burden of disease and injury 2.3 times that of non-Indigenous Australians.

This year’s theme is Community Voices: The Pathway to Justice, Equality and Healing. It highlights that community leadership drives real change; listening to lived experience strengthens equality; and justice and equity happen when governments act on community priorities.

Background: The Close the Gap campaign arose in 2005 in response to Professor Tom Calma’s Social Justice Report (2005) which challenged governments to bring about health equality. The Steering Committee met in March 2006 and in April 2007 the campaign launched. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, individuals, and organisations have worked tirelessly to push for better outcomes and recognition for our communities.

The launch of this year's report, which is grounded in truth, evidence and community expertise, is available via live stream by registering here: https://bit.ly/4lh7DAm
