The purpose of this paper is to review evidence relating to 'what works' to influence the social and economic determinants of Indigenous health, in order to reduce health inequities, and ultimately contribute to closing the life expectancy gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. It outlines a conceptual framework for understanding how social and economic determinants influence health and wellbeing, and identifies a number of key determinants of health.
