Caritas Australai - End poverty Promote justice Uphold dignity Catholic Social Teaching covers all spheres of life – the economic, political, personal and spiritual. With human dignity at its centre, a holistic approach to development founded on the principles of CST, is what Pope Paul VI called ‘authentic development’. Explore the Catholic Social Teaching principles and how they guide the work of Caritas Australia.
The Catholic Spirit - 7 Principles of CSJ Catholic social teaching is central to our faith, and is based on — and inseparable from — our understanding of human life and dignity. These teachings are derived from: the Gospels and the words of Christ; papal statements and encyclicals; and Catholic bishops’ statements and pastoral letters. Catholic social teaching calls us all to work for the common good, help build a just society, uphold the dignity of human life and lift up our poor and vulnerable brothers and sisters.

Closing the Gap for Indigenous Australians - Indigenous policy - Closing the evidence gap Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA)
Overcoming Indigenous Disadvantage Key Indicators 2014 The OID report serves as a public report card on progress in overcoming Indigenous disadvantage. It can help governments assess the effectiveness of current policies and inform the development of new approaches. It can assist Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians to hold governments to account, and to develop their own responses to the disadvantage that limits the opportunities of too many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians.
Life Tables for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, 2010-2012 Census data collected every five years. The next census is in August 2016.
Fact check: Are Indigenous children 10 times more likely than non-Indigenous children to be living out of home? "Indigenous children at the moment are 10 times more likely to be living out of home right now," Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young said on the ABC's Q&A.
The Gap: Indigenous Disadvantage in Australia The “gap” refers to the vast health and life-expectation inequality between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. This inequality includes: shorter life expectancy, higher rates of infant mortality, poorer health and lower levels of education and employment. The Closing the Gap policy has resulted in some improvements, but national statistics indicate that there is still a long way to go.
