The concerns for Indigenous Australians are many. Compared to non-Indigenous Australians, our Indigenous children are nearly three times as likely to die before their first birthday, two-thirds will not finish secondary school and on average they will die 20 years earlier than the wider Australian population.
World Vision’s ongoing work with Australia’s Indigenous people is through invitation into communities and is based upon consultation with community leaders and members to ascertain the role we can best play in the ongoing development of these communities.
We aim to:
- Facilitate effective sustainable development in Indigenous Australia through quality long-term community based programs
- Increase opportunities for Indigenous youth through education, skills and training development
- Advocate and raise awareness on Indigenous issues and disadvantage in the wider community.
