Creating a Legacy of Hope
Every day, Diabetes Victoria supports thousands of people living with diabetes, and it’s all made possible by people like you.
With your help, we provide essential services, fund groundbreaking research, and deliver education and information where it’s needed most.
More Australians are now choosing to have an impactful and powerful legacy by including a gift in their will to Diabetes Victoria. Together, we are creating a healthier future for generations to come.

Gordon has chosen to leave a gift in his will to Diabetes Victoria as his way of giving back and saying thank you.

Helen’s health journey
Helen, who has benefited from research funded by Diabetes Victoria, sees her gift in her will as a way of ‘paying it forward’.
“The research Diabetes Victoria funds has helped me unbelievably, so why not give to the people doing the research to make the future better for others?”
“Community to me is about helping each other. I want to help my neighbour.”

Robert put pen to paper
And for Robert, nominating a gift in his will was a simple decision, which was rooted in gratitude and hope.
“(Writing a will) is not hard if you know what you want... I decided to give five percent to Diabetes Victoria. I feel as though they can use that money to help someone else, the same way they helped me.”
