This month Mackay Hospital and Health Service celebrate 10 years of Deadly Choices in the region.
A colourful community and cultural event at Victoria Park State School brought together Traditional Elders, community members, local groups and organisations and healthcare staff to mark a decade of empowering Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to make healthy lifestyle choices.
From cultural activities and health promotion stalls to plenty of fun for families, it was a day to reflect on the growth of strong partnerships, proud achievements and the lasting impact of this incredible program.
Deadly Choices has always been supported by dedicated ambassadors, including the 10-year anniversary celebration special guest and Australian professional women’s rugby league player Tallisha Harden, who inspires Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities through her leadership and advocacy.
Another highlight of the anniversary celebration was the acknowledgement of Aunty Joan, whose unwavering commitment to the program since 2015 has made a lasting impact.
