Diabetes Doesn’t Rest
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. Through advocacy, research partnerships, programs and community services, we work to improve health outcomes for the 1.3 million Victorians affected by diabetes.
Our Community Matters
The community’s voices are at the heart of these election priorities. We gathered feedback through surveys, conversations with our Community Advisory Committee, and engagement at community events, hearing directly from people about what matters most to them. This input has guided our focus and ensured our priorities reflect the issues and lived experiences of the communities we serve.
Diabetes Victoria launched its 2026 Election Priorities at Victoria’s Parliament House this week, highlighting the urgent need for action to support people affected by diabetes.
The bipartisan event was hosted by Diabetes Victoria and The Parliamentary Friends of People Affected by Diabetes, which is co-convened by Bronwyn Halfpenny MP and Gaelle Broad MLC.
