National Close the Gap Day

On 16^th March, we celebrate National Close the Gap Day – a day to bring people together to share information, and most importantly, to take meaningful action in support of achieving health equality for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples by 2032.

To support all staff of CHHHS, TCHHS and Queensland Health who are working towards health equality for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, the Library & Knowledge Centre (LKC) has produced several resources.

• The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health guide contains news and updates; guidelines; suggestions for books, databases and journals; and information about organisations, education, and research. The guide is useful for clinicians from all disciplines.
• The regular Current Awareness Service (CAS or ‘Evidence Update’) for Indigenous Health outlines the latest published research and articles and is delivered straight to your inbox in PDF format. If you wish to receive these regularly, sign up to receive the Indigenous Health CAS. You can also view past Evidence Updates on our ‘Stay Current’ page.
• For staff wanting to borrow books, the LKC have a list of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander titles. This list of over 100 titles includes both print and ebook formats. (Hint: register with the LKC if you would like to reserve or borrow from this list.)
