National Close the Gap Day 2012 More
National Close the Gap Day 2012 : Alcohol and Drug Homeless Health Outreach Team, Absolute Dental Care, and Mary Mackillop College joined the BHSC services to commemorate National Close The Gap Day. Serenaded by the lovely Sue Ray, local Indigenous artist, not even the miserable weather could stop us campaigning to close the gap on Indigenous health and housing!
