The Snake Bite Program

The Snake Bite Program in Diamond Creek, Victoria, is an Indigenous initiative founded by Aishah Pelley, aimed at enhancing the understanding of snakes within Indigenous Australian culture and improving access to antivenoms, particularly in disadvantaged communities. This program offers various services including snake safety training, reptile shows, and educational resources that focus on snakebite prevention and awareness.

Additionally, the program emphasizes the importance of collaboration with international medical research centers and local Indigenous groups to foster a greater understanding of snakes and their role in both ecosystems and human health. The Snake Bite Program stands as a testament to empowering young Indigenous individuals, especially women, to pursue their goals while addressing critical health issues related to snakebites in both Australia and developing nations.
