Mick Adams has won a major award at the 12th annual Deadlys, announced 21 September, 2006 at the Sydney Opera House. The Deadly Awards have become an important event on the Indigenous music and lifestyle calendar, celebrating the achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in music and the arts, sport, education and health.

Mick has been involved in improving the health and well-being of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people for over 30 years, working in a variety of roles for community controlled and state based services. During the past 13 years, Mick’s focus has been on the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander males. He has worked towards ensuring that men’s health issues are promoted and placed on national and international agendas through advocacy, research, publications and health management. He has also spoken out about family violence and child abuse issues. Mick is currently undertaking a PhD in Public Health examining the prevalence and correlates of sexual dysfunction among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander males.
