Today at Dalby Hospital, the community came together to recognise National Close the Gap Day; a vibrant celebration focused on culture, connection and the ongoing commitment to improving health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Hosted by Darling Downs Health, the event welcomed the whole community and created a warm, inclusive space for learning, sharing, and celebrating cultural identity. Attendees enjoyed a rich program that highlighted the importance of culturally safe care and community-led wellbeing initiatives. Activities included cultural dance workshops, yarning circles, weaving sessions, kids’ art activities, Fire Department demonstrations, live music, and a free shared lunch, all designed to foster connection and acknowledge the importance of Closing the Gap in health equality.
Today’s gathering at Dalby Hospital stood as a positive example of that partnership in action: community voices being heard, culture being celebrated, and a shared commitment to meaningful change being strengthened.
We look forward to building on the connections we have made today, for the benefit of our participants, our region and the betterment of our society overall.
