The Collingwood Football Club is committed to using our position and reach to positively influence the community. As such, our partnership with Deadly Choices provides an opportunity to positively influence the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across Victoria.
Deadly Choices is a preventative health program of the Institute for Urban Indigenous Health, aiming to empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to make healthy choices for themselves and their families.
Together with the Victorian Aboriginal Health Service (VAHS), the Deadly Choices initiative encourages individuals to access their local Community Controlled Health Service and complete an annual ‘715 Health Check’.

A priority goal of Deadly Choices is encouraging communities to not just see the doctor when they are sick, but to visit their health service and access supports to prevent or better manage chronic disease and remain healthy.
'715 Health Checks' are a preventative health assessment to support the needs of Indigenous Australians with focus on the greatest contributors of chronic diseases within Indigenous communities, including diabetes, kidney disease, as well as vision and hearing loss.
Individuals who attend their local health service for a 715 Health Check can receive a Deadly Choices Collingwood t-shirt after their consult.
