Melbourne Storm's renewed partnership with the Victorian Aboriginal Health Services Deadly Choices Program will see the club to continue to promote the healthy lifestyle values of Deadly Choices in Victoria's First Nations communities.

To mark the renewal of the partnership, the Storm's current NRL squad Indigenous players Reimis Smith and Jordan Grant and fullback Nick Meaney unveiled the new Deadly Choices x Storm health-check shirts at the VAHS head office in Fitzroy.

These shirts will serve as incentives to encourage community members to book health check-ups at their local participating community-controlled health services.

Deadly Choices is a preventative health initiative which aims to empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to make healthy choices for themselves and their families – to stop smoking, to eat nutritious food, and exercise daily.

Storm chief executive Justin Rodski said the club has a proud heritage of fielding Indigenous players in its NRL team and partnering with Indigenous organisations in its home state.

"We have very meaningful connections to the Indigenous community, particularly in Victoria," Rodski said.

"These ties are strong, they are powerful and we are committed to making them stronger through partners such as Deadly Choices whose ideals align perfectly with Storm.

"Our players will continue to play a major role in highlighting that a Deadly Choice is a good choice and that it's important that those choices are made every day."

Over the Storm's 25 years, 17 Indigenous players have worn the purple jersey, dating back to the formative seasons of the club.

"Our new Storm Academy and the Storm First Nations Pathway Program supported by Coles are both dedicated to assisting young Indigenous players to achieve their NRL dreams," Rodski said.

"We also continue to work with Indigenous organisations such as Dardi Munwurro which has a vision to build stronger families and safer communities."
