 　　CANBERRA, April 18 (Xinhua) -- Australian government has announced 777 million Australian dollars (805 million U.S. dollars) to extend the funding for improving the health of indigenous1 people for three years, the Prime Minister's office said on Thursday.

　　The funding is part of a renewed National Partnership2 Agreement on Closing the Gap in Indigenous Health Outcomes for a further three years to 30 June 2016.
　　This funding will ensure indigenous Australians continue to benefit from improved health services and help to close the gap in indigenous disadvantage.
　　The government hopes that the health scheme will close the gap in life expectancy3 between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians within a generation, and halve4 the gap in mortality rates for indigenous children under five within a decade.
　　The Commonwealth5 government will ask the States and Territories to also continue their investment to renew the National Partnership Agreement.
　　Under the current National Partnership Agreement, due to expire on June 30, 2013, governments provided 1.58 billion Australian dollars (1.64 billion U.S. dollars) over four years to improve access to health services for indigenous families and communities.
　　This year's Closing the Gap report showed that local health services were helping6 to lead a comprehensive approach to chronic7 disease management, encouraging people to undergo health checks and follow-ups.
　　In 2011-12, 65,501 health assessments8 were provided to Aboriginal9 and Torres Strait Islander people aged10 15 and over, a 34 percent increase from 2010-11.
