Outback Stores collaborates with different Tackling Indigenous Smoking (TIS) teams across the remote communities we service. This is a key part of our work in reducing to***co sold to strengthen long-term wellbeing.
Earlier this year, Carmel and Sara from our Nutrition team went to Bardi Ardyaloon to team up with the TIS team from Broome Regional Aboriginal Medical Service (BRAMS) at the first Bardi Ardyaloon Saltwater Fishing Competition! From engaging in conversations about no smoking, to supporting the cook-off on the final day, it was a fantastic opportunity to connect with local community members.
Special thank you to the organisers Karleen and Malarti from Broome Regional Aboriginal Medical Service and John from the Bardi Ardyaloon council for this amazing event, giving local kids the chance to compete for prizes and for everyone to celebrate health, culture, and community.
Carmel, our Health Promotion Coordinator, whose role is part of a Flinders University collaboration with funding from the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), and Heart Foundation Australia, is also involved in collaborating with other key partners such as Central Australian Aboriginal Congress to work on promoting smoke-free communities.
This event was a great opportunity to work and build our relationship with Tackling Indigenous Smoking providers such as BRAMS!
