Deadly Choices licences are available for organisations committed to making a positive difference in the health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in their community and across Australia.
As a licensee you are an ambassador for the Deadly Choices brand and will be responsible for maintaining the values of the brand and to adhere to the proper implementation of its healthy lifestyle programs.
A Deadly way to empower young people and communities
The Deadly Choices Education program is a chronic disease prevention and education course developed by the Deadly Choices team to empower young people and communities to make healthy choices.
The program covers seven key health areas: leadership, chronic disease, nutrition, substance misuse, smoking cessation, sexual health as well as health literacy and access.
The program was developed to be delivered in almost any community setting including high schools, health groups and youth centres. The content is simple and easily adaptable to a group’s specific needs.
The Deadly Choices Team will work with you to get your program up and running. Program educational materials, including reporting and recording structures are all supplied and can be co-branded.
