Australia’s biggest conversation about the impact of diabetes will be the centrepiece of this year’s National Diabetes Week on 9–15 July.
The initiative, as part of ADEA’s and its unified partners’ campaign for change, encourages all stakeholders—from people living with diabetes to health practitioners to researchers—to participate.
The goal is to map out further actions to change the trajectory of diabetes in Australia and better support people living with or at risk of diabetes.
To kickstart the conversation, Diabetes Australia will have a great debate series featuring several topics:
Co-hosted by Diabetes Australia’s Group CEO Justine Cain and Dr Norman Swan AM, the five thought-provoking debate sessions over five days will be a mix of live in-person (which will also be livestreamed) and virtual events.
Speakers will include CDEs, other health professionals, and people living with diabetes.
Find out more about each debate or register to attend (in-person or online) via Diabetes Australia’s website here.
Tying in with this year’s biggest conversation is the parliamentary inquiry into diabetes, announced in May.
For ADEA members, we recently began calling for their insight and contributions to inform our submission to the inquiry.
Some of the key themes from members’ responses so far include:
Members who have not yet contributed and are interested in adding their insight are encouraged to do so via our form here, which closes on 17 August.
As well as collaborating with Diabetes Australia and our other unified partners to highlight the impact of diabetes on those living with the condition, we will continue to promote the importance of CDEs as part of the conversation.
ADEA members are also encouraged to urge their clients to join the national conversation and have their voices heard in the parliamentary inquiry by responding to Diabetes Australia’s national survey which can be accessed via Diabetes Australia’s website here.
We look forward to this campaign to amplify the voices of the diabetes community—people living with diabetes and diabetes health professionals—and drive change to create a better future for those living with diabetes.
