Organisation Summary

Founded in January 2024, Deadly Sports Plus Aboriginal Corporation are the only Aboriginal-led and LGBTIQA+SB-led charity providing first aid and training to all. Our purpose is to make first aid training accessible and support employment in pre-hospital care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, LGBTIQA+SB, disabled, and disadvantaged communities. We are registered with ACNC as a PBI Charity, recognised as a social enterprise by Social Traders and People + Planet, and as Indigenous-owned by Supply Nation and Kinaway Chamber of Commerce.

We do this by using our fee-for-service work and grants to fund three programs: Community First Aid Training, where our beneficiaries get access to a free first aid course and given a free first aid kit; Community Event Fund, discounted access to DS+ staff to provide event first aid services at community events; and, Employment, where we employ people in the beneficiary community or support them into entering the workforce.

In the first aid space, we are less likely to see overt representation of people from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, LGBTIQA+SB, disabled, and disadvantaged communities – yet, these communities are overrepresented in the health care system. Our work is focused on community members supporting their own community.
