Deadly Sports Plus Aboriginal Corporation

Deadly Sports Plus Aboriginal Corporation is a unique Aboriginal-led and LGBTIQA+SB-led charity dedicated to providing high-quality first aid training and event first aid services across Australia. Established as a non-profit Aboriginal Community-Controlled Organisation and social enterprise, it focuses on empowering communities often underrepresented in the first aid and pre-hospital care sectors.

Mission and Vision

The organisation’s mission is to make first aid training accessible and create sustainable employment opportunities in the pre-hospital care industry for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, LGBTIQA+SB individuals, disabled people, and those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Its vision is to foster a culturally safe and inclusive environment where these communities can thrive professionally and contribute meaningfully to health and safety outcomes.

Main Objectives

• Advance education by delivering accredited and tailored first aid and health training programs.
• Support employment pathways within the first aid and pre-hospital care industries.
• Assist organisations in building capacity for culturally appropriate pre-hospital and outpatient services.
• Act as a resource hub for health education and community engagement.

Benefiting Groups

The primary beneficiaries are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, LGBTIQA+SB community members, people living with disabilities, and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds. The organisation also serves the broader Victorian community through its fee-for-service model, reinvesting proceeds into community programs.
