Syphilis Outbreak Videos

The team at Young Deadly Free has been busy creating new videos with communities across Australia. These videos aim to help you when you’re yarning with young people about sexual health issues.

We have worked with local people in all the locations we have visited. You might be surprised to know that most of the time the people you see acting haven’t had any acting experience before! The communities and the people we have met have been very welcoming and giving of their time and knowledge and we are very thankful to all those involved on and off the camera.

If you would like to use Young Deadly Free resources please see our copyright page. Videos are available for download or we can send USB with copies to your community, please contact us at youngdeadlyfree@uq.edu.au.
