17 April 2025—The Australian Diabetes Educators Association (ADEA) is pleased to announce two recent changes to its Board of Directors, with the appointment of Emily Wooden and Ian Harmer.
Emily Wooden and Ian Harmer join the ADEA Board of Directors, bringing a wealth of experience in strategic leadership and diabetes education.
Emily Wooden joins the Board as the Diabetes Australia representative, replacing Taryn Black. Emily is a CPA-qualified executive with more than 25 years of experience across CEO, COO, and CFO roles, primarily in the not-for-profit sector.
Her leadership spans diverse areas including health, education, international development, childcare, financial services, and member-owned organisations.
Currently Chief of Corporate Services and CFO at Diabetes Australia, Emily is leading the transformation of the organisation’s financial modelling to build a more sustainable and efficient future.
She is known for her values-led leadership, strategic mindset, and ability to deliver operational excellence. Emily brings deep experience in revenue growth, systems improvement, and major change initiatives that drive organisational performance and better community outcomes.
Ian Harmer joins the Board as a Credentialled Diabetes Educator (CDE) Director, replacing Amanda Bartlett, former ADEA President. Ian has been a CDE for more than 17 years and is an ADEA Fellow.
He was recently endorsed as a Diabetes Nurse Practitioner.
Ian’s career has taken him across a range of settings—including teaching nurses to become diabetes educators in the Middle East.
He has coordinated and taught the Diabetes Educator course at Curtin University and, for the past decade, has worked in a rural community health service in Gippsland, providing diabetes education and care.
During the last two years, he has also delivered services as a Nurse Practitioner.
Ian is a long-standing contributor to ADEA, having served on the Credentialling Committee, the Course Accreditation and Standards of Practice Committee, and currently the Board’s CDE Advisory Group.
He also advises on ADEA’s microcredentials project. Ian is passionate about advocating for improved access to diabetes technologies and better outcomes for people living with diabetes.
ADEA sincerely thanks both Taryn Black and Amanda Bartlett for their service, leadership, and commitment to the diabetes education community.
We welcome Emily and Ian to the Board and look forward to the valuable perspectives and experience they bring.
