About us
Who we are
Since 1953, Diabetes Victoria has been the leading peak body dedicated to reducing the impact of all types of diabetes on people, families, communities and health systems across Victoria. Diabetes Victoria was established when Victorians living with diabetes expressed the need to have ownership of their condition.
Diabetes Victoria is the Victorian agent of the National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS), which is an initiative of the Australian Government administered by Diabetes Australia.
Our commitment to inclusion
Diabetes Victoria recognises that people affected by diabetes come from every community and walk of life.
We are committed to fostering a respectful, welcoming and inclusive environment for the people we support, our employees, volunteers and partners. We strive to ensure our services, workplaces and communications are accessible, equitable and culturally safe, and we are committed to continuous learning and improvement in inclusion and belonging.
