The Deadly Sista Girlz Program aims to build proud Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander girls. It is delivered by strong Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander role models and mentors who offer a stable environment in which they can discuss current and personal issues they may be facing.
Each girl has the opportunity to be personally mentored throughout the program and also make positive social interactions with their fellow sistagirls in a fun and caring environment.
Deadly Sista Girlz focuses on:
- building pride in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander identity

- encouraging active self-development
- yarning about sexual and women’s health; drug and alcohol abuse; road safety; healthy nutrition; financial literacy; healthy relationships

The purpose of the Deadly Sista Girlz Program is to use female role models to empower and enable young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander girls to make informed decisions about their personal health and wellbeing to lead a positive and healthy lifestyle.
