COAG's Six Ambitious Targets To 'Close The Gap' or COAG's Six Ambitious Targets means as explained in Closing the Gap In Indigenous Disadvantage:

"In 2008, COAG agreed to six ambitious targets to address the disadvantage faced by Indigenous Australians (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples) in life expectancy, child mortality, education and employment.

They are to:

1. close the gap in life expectancy within a generation (by 2031);
2. halve the gap in mortality rates for Indigenous children under five by 2018;
3. ensure access to early childhood education for all Indigenous four year olds in remote communities by 2013;
4. halve the gap in reading, writing and numeracy achievements for children by 2018;
5. halve the gap for Indigenous students in Year 12 (or equivalent) attainment rates by 2020; and
6. halve the gap in employment outcomes between Indigenous and other Australians by 2018.
