Blue Circle Collective What is the Blue Circle Collective? The Blue Circle Collective is a powerful movement of voices reshaping how Australia sees and responds to diabetes. A national network of passionate Ambassadors, Advocates and Advisers, united to amplify the cause, raise awareness, and drive meaningful change in how diabetes is understood, supported, and addressed. At Diabetes Australia, we recognise that speaking means little unless it’s grounded in listening.
