Key Points

• The latest Closing the Gap data shows just five of the 19 targets are on track to be met - and four are worsening.
• Of particular concern is an increase to the suicide rate, with it being the leading cause of death for Indigenous people aged 15-39 in 2022.
• The new Minister for Indigenous Australians, Malarndirri McCarthy, says incarceration rates are also worsening and there has been no improvement in the rates of young people in detention.
