Deadly Choices birth certificate initiative

Hey new parents don’t forget to register your bub’s birth.

Commemorate their birth with a Deadly Choices commemorative certificate.

A birth certificate gives your bub access to their rights, we are working with:

• Institute for Urban Indigenous Health (IUIH), and
• Townsville Aboriginal and Islander Health Services (TAIHS).
