Roadmap to unite in the fight for change: ADEA and partners launch strategic plans to reduce diabetes impact

Thank you for joining the conversation during National Diabetes Week.

To end the week, we are launching our new strategic plan.

The diabetes epidemic is one of the largest and most complex health challenges in Australia.

It touches millions of lives across the country and impacts every part of our health system and its impact is growing.

Without action, diabetes will continue to negatively impact people’s lives and our health system.

We understand the urgent need for change—to change the lives of millions of Australians who are living with diabetes or will develop the condition in the years ahead.

During National Diabetes Week on 9–15 July, we and our unified partners kickstarted Australia’s biggest conversation about the impact of the condition in this country.

A conversation to drive change and create hope for the future.

This week has been all about the diabetes community coming together to discuss the big issues: what needs to be done to better support Australians living with diabetes and change the trajectory of the diabetes epidemic.

People living with diabetes, health professionals, and researchers have all joined the conversation this week, providing a richness of discussion.

This diversity is what the diabetes community is all about. This collaboration is what makes us strong. This is how we unite in the fight for change.

There’s no better time to launch our plan—our roadmap to unite in the fight for change.

Today, we are launching our Strategic Plan 2023–2026 alongside the new strategic plans of our partner organisations, the Diabetes Australia Group and the Australian Diabetes Society (ADS), to show our shared commitment to leading the fight against Australia’s biggest health crisis and improving the lives of people living with diabetes.

Our strategic plan outlines our goals to support and grow the diabetes health workforce and ensure Credentialled Diabetes Educators are working to their full scope of practice so that every person living with diabetes across the nation receives the best possible diabetes care and education.

The plan, which follows a strategic roundtable in February this year, outlines our bold ambition for a future where diabetes can do no harm and lives are transformed through excellence in diabetes education.

It articulates our strategic pillars of advocacy, education, care, connection, and support to achieve our goals. The pillars will:
