Australia revamps strategy to tackle poor Aboriginal outcomes

MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australia will broaden measures to improve life outcomes for its Indigenous people, it said on Thursday, after efforts over the past decade did little to budge their shorter life expectancy, worse health prospects and higher rate of incarceration.

Federal and state governments have signed on to 10-year targets in a revamped strategy to "Close the Gap" between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians which includes a commitment to tackle structural racism in government organisations and establish accountability mechanisms.
