The Northern Territory Intervention and the Closing the Gap initiative are two Federal Government strategies that were designed to end the disparity between the health of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Examine these two approaches. Explain the similarities and differences of the two. Discuss whether these policies have been effective or ineffective in reaching their specific goals to date. Has either of these two initiatives been a productive instrument in ending the disparity that exists between Indigenous and non-Indigenous health? Why? Why not? Justify your answer with research and references. You should read widely and find at least 6 academic references to support your work. The assessment will be marked against the marking criteria listed below. Correct and appropriate terms of reference and language use are required in this unit, as outlined in the marking criteria, so please consult your Gnibi Need to Know Guide !!!!! You must follow these guidelines: Submit work, which has been typed using Word doc processing. When preparing this work: leave a minimum 4 cm margin on the left hand side use double line-spacing use at least 12-point type size use an easy-to-read font (no fancy fonts please) number every page name and student no. at top of each page font colour black only use headings (and sub-headings if appropriate) optional. Stick to the word limit: any portion of the essay more than 10% over the set word length will not be marked. Present your work at publishable standard, that is, check your assignments for typographical, spelling and grammatical errors. Assignments must be properly referenced, which means: including a bibliography or reference list referencing all sources, every time you use the source. A reference at the end of a paragraph is insufficient: every sentence must be referenced if it contains material drawn from somewhere else referencing information obtained through interviews and personal communications, and information obtained from study materials (including the Study Guide) using the reference system used by the School that administers the degree in which you are enrolled.
