Diabetes Australia

Diabetes Australia is the third oldest diabetes association in the world, after the United Kingdom and Portugal. Originally established in the state of New South Wales (NSW) in 1937, the organisation's head office is now in the nation's capital, Canberra. In 2021 the members of Diabetes NSW & ACT, Diabetes Queensland and Diabetes Tasmania voted to unify with Diabetes Australia. The Australian Diabetes Society and the Australian Diabetes Educators Association are also members.

Diabetes Australia is a not-for-profit organisation supported financially by the community. In addition to its original mandate as an extended support group, Diabetes Australia raises funds to invest in research, health services, provision of self–management products and services, and public awareness programs. It also facilitates the development of national policies about diabetes.

Diabetes Australia has delivered the National Diabetes Services Scheme since the Scheme was established in 1987. Provided by Wikipedia
