Each association of Diabetes Australia is a non-government, community based organisation heavily reliant upon community support. Their core business is the management, detection and prevention of diabetes and providing ongoing support for people with diabetes and their families.
Each association seeks to:
- help people with diabetes live full and meaningful lives
- help families learn how to incorporate diabetes into their lifestyle
- alert the community to the seriousness of diabetes, its risk factors and potential for prevention of Type 2 (non-insulin dependent diabetes)
- liaise with health professionals with the common goal of constantly improving diabetes care
- support diabetes research with funding through the Diabetes Australia Research Trust (DART)
- fight discrimination and lobby government and decision makers about diabetes related issues
