Abstract

[Extract] Dr Naomi Mayers and other representatives from the National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (NACCHO) met on 10 March 2006 at the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commissions offices in Sydney to discuss the way forward following the 2005 Social Justice Report. "They brought with them the mandate from Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHSs) to advocate for closing the life expectancy gap between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous peoples. For Dr Mayers, then Deputy Chair of NACCHO, this was reminiscent of the efforts of the 1989 National Aboriginal Health Strategy (NAHS) Working Party.
