Target Audience - Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Community
Sports Drinks are Gammin!
A new campaign has been launched using local Aboriginal sporting role models to urge their Victorian Aboriginal community to spread the message that sports drinks are no good for us, they’re gammin! (fake/not real). Drink water instead.
The campaign includes a tool kit that can be used by SSA and RSA programs that have an Indigenous target group focus. These promotional materials will help promote key messages targeting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members aged 18 – 30.
