Bulldogs and Deadly Choices Unite Again

The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have renewed their partnership with Deadly Choices, an initiative led by the Institute for Urban Indigenous Health (IUIH), to continue driving preventative health education and regular health checks among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

This season’s campaign kicked off at Belmore with Bulldogs NRL stars Josh Curran and Blake Taaffe, and female pathways player Mackenzie Stephens, proudly launching the 2025 edition of the Bulldogs Deadly Choices shirts.

Commenting on the extension of the partnership, Director of Deadly Choices, Dallas Leon, said: “The Deadly Choices and Canterbury Bulldogs partnership is a great example of a health-sports initiative making an impact on our community.”

“The success of distributing over 3,000 shirts speaks to the community’s engagement with primary health care services,” Leon said.

Echoinh the club’s pride in being part of the campaign, Bulldogs’ General Manager of Stakeholder Engagement, Diane Langmack, added: “It’s been incredibly rewarding to witness the pride these shirts bring to the community.”

“Our players have loved being involved, and we’re honoured to support a cause that drives such meaningful outcomes,” Langmack shared.

These limited-edition shirts distributed through Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services serve as both a cultural celebration and a health incentive for individuals who complete the important 715 Health Check.

the initiative has seen over 3,000 shirts distributed to community members across the country, encouraging early intervention and chronic disease prevention.

The 715 Health Check plays a critical role in improving long-term health outcomes for Indigenous Australians, and the Bulldogs’ backing has added powerful visibility to the message.

In addition to shirt distribution, Bulldogs players and ambassadors will continue to participate in community events throughout the 2025 season, while promoting healthy eating, physical activity, and the cessation of smoking and vaping.
