Hunter New England LHD's Aboriginal Health Unit developed a comprehensive Closing the Gap Framework, which incorporates key elements of planning, reporting, monitoring and accountability to improve service design, delivery and outcomes for Aboriginal consumers.
The communication mechanisms of the Closing the Gap Framework provide transparency, visibility and accountability for the LHD regarding its health outcomes for Aboriginal consumers.
The Aboriginal Health Unit uses this tool to work collaboratively with Hunter New England services to increase their understanding, capacity and responsiveness to Aboriginal health needs.
