"We Sisters of Mercy Parramatta Congregation will open our hearts to the cries of the poor using our energies, gifts and resources to address violence and discrimination especially for women and children, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples..."
(Chapter Statement)
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples still live, on average, 10-11 years less than non-Indigenous Australians.
Closing the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander life expectancy gap is everyone’s business: it is a national issue in which every individual, organisation and group in Australia can play a role.
