Federal Labor has said it will commit to closing the gap on Indigenous Australians’ health outcomes if elected to government on May 21.

The centre-left party announced it would train 500 additional Indigenous health workers, and invest in life-saving dialysis and rheumatic heart disease treatments for Aboriginal communities.
