Health Checks

A priority goal of Deadly Kindies is to encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children to access their local health service and complete an annual ‘715 Health Check.’

What is a ‘715 Health Check?’

A 715 health check is a free, comprehensive health assessment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of all ages, designed to improve health outcomes by encouraging early detection, diagnosis, and intervention for common and treatable conditions.

We acknowledge the many Goori Nations whose territories we live and work across in South East Queensland, and the territories of all our regional partners. We honour Our Ancestors and those who have walked before us in paving the way.

This website contains images, names, and voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have passed away. With permission from their families, we have continued to use their images to acknowledge and honour their contributions in making our communities healthy and strong.
