Part 1: Deadly feet: a co-design process for the implementation of a multi-disciplinary outreach

Deadly Feet pivoted away from established western service structures to a culturally responsive model, by extending their codesign network beyond Queensland Health and prioritising community engagement. The programs design, implementation and evaluation were guided by local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peers, organisations, and community – forming an expansive co-design network. Safe spaces for community interaction were provided by notable entities like Kurbingui, Buranga Widjung Justice Group, and Nalingu Respite Group.

Leveraging their established relationships, these organizations promoted Deadly Feet, facilitated introductions, and provided invaluable engagement opportunities. Collaborating with community groups fostered organic connections, enhanced approachability, accessibility, and extended outreach to individuals who might not otherwise engage with Deadly Feet.
