We are proud to be partnering with the Institute for Urban Indigenous Health (IUIH) and Townsville Aboriginal and Islander Health Services (TAIHS) to promote the popular Deadly Choices commemorative birth certificates and remind new parents to register their child.
Starting in 2016, the initiative helps Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children get ahead in life. It helps ensure their births are registered and that they get a birth certificate so they can access education and health services.
Who can apply
Parents of children (5 or younger) can apply for a Deadly Choices birth certificate package (including a standard birth certificate), if they are:
Private and Confidential Attention: Community Engagement Officer Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages PO Box 15188 CITY EAST QLD 4002
Community visits
We visit Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to help with registering bubs’ births and to help parents get birth certificates.
Come and have a yarn with us to get some help with applications.
Follow us on Facebook to keep up to date on when we next visit your community.
