Diabetes NSW works proactively to improve the day-to-day lives of people living with diabetes. We aim to make things easier by educating carers, employers and the general public. Our mission is a life without the complication(s) of diabetes.

Formed on 27 July 1938, we are Australia’s largest member-based charity for people living with or at risk of diabetes. We have been supporting people with diabetes, their families, carers and friends, for more than 75 years. Our priority is their health and well-being, so they can live their lives well – every step of the way.

Why us
Advocacy

Diabetes NSW & ACT advocates on behalf of people living with and at risk of diabetes, their families and carers. If required, we can refer people to the relevant anti-discrimination body in their state or territory. We also offer diabetes education for workplaces to improve the understanding of diabetes in the community.

Lobbying

We are passionate about lobbying government and other bodies to help improve the lives of people living with and at risk of diabetes. As a leading voice on diabetes, we have a range of position statements on issues that impact on people with diabetes, their friends, families and carers. You can read some of our recent position statements here:

Low carbohydrate eating for people living with diabetes

Health levy on sugar sweetened drinks

Improving communication for people living with diabetes

Glucose Self Monitoring

You will also find more information about our approach to management, prevention and leadership for the diabetes community in Diabetes Australia’s National Diabetes Strategy and Action Plan.
