What’s Different – Focus Questions
 Five focus questions down to four
Deleted: What role does health promotion play in achieving better health for all
Australians?
 ‘Priority Areas’ are now ‘Priority Issues’
© The Association of Independent Schools of NSW
Focus Question 1
 Three ‘learn about’ dot points down to two
 Second ‘learn about’ dot point has been captured in
the expanded ‘learn to’ and in the next focus
question that includes ‘groups experiencing
inequity’
 Second ‘learn to’ is expanded
 Third ‘learn to’ is streamlined

Focus Question 2
 Three priority issues
Priority issues for improving Australia’s health
- Groups experiencing health inequities (ATSI + One other)
- High levels of preventable chronic disease, injury and

Six Key Targets for Closing the Gap
The Australian Government, together with the states and territories
has set specific targets to address Indigenous disadvantage. The six
key targets that form the Closing the Gap objective are to:
1. close the life expectancy gap within a generation
2. halve the gap in mortality rates for Indigenous children under five
within a decade
3. ensure access to early childhood education for all Indigenous four
years olds in remote communities within five years
4. halve the gap in reading, writing and numeracy achievements for
children within a decade
5. halve the gap for Indigenous students in Year 12 attainment or
equivalent attainment rates by 2020
6. halve the gap in employment outcomes between Indigenous and
non-Indigenous Australians within a decade.

+Clock?opendocument?utm_id=LN
On 20 May 2009 at 10:43:54 AM (Canberra time), the resident population of Australia is
projected to be:
21,765,407
This projection is based on the estimated resident population at 30 September 2008 and
assumes growth since then of:

one birth every 1 minute and 50 seconds,

one death every 3 minutes and 48 seconds,

a net gain of one international migrant every 2 minutes and 36 seconds leading to

an overall total population increase of one person every 1 minute and 30 seconds.
