IUIH also operates the high successfully Deadly Choices program, which aims to empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to make healthy choices for themselves and their families – to stop smoking, to eat good food and exercise daily. www.deadlychoices.com.au

Gadens Chairman Paul Spiro said: “We are delighted to announce this pro bono partnership and assist IUIH to make a positive difference in improving the health outcomes of Indigenous Australians.”

“Our Brisbane office is proudly owned and operated by Queenslanders and our firm feels a deep sense of obligation to give back to the local community.”
