Diabetes Australia would like to congratulate Professor Trisha Dunning, who officially retired early last week. 

Professor Trisha Dunning AM has had a long and distinguished career as a leading nurse, diabetes clinician, researcher, and educator. Australia’s diabetes organisations, including Diabetes Australia, the Australian Diabetes Educators Association and Diabetes Victoria have all benefited from Professor Dunning’s knowledge and leadership. She has also had an international impact serving as Vice President of the International Diabetes Federation.

As one of Australia’s true leaders in diabetes, Professor Trisha Dunning has had a huge impact on the way we support vulnerable people with diabetes including elderly people and people who require end-of-life care. She’s also helped modernise the way hospitals support people with diabetes and advocated to ensure people get the individualised support and treatment that works for them.

Professor Trisha Dunning was a recipient of last year’s Outstanding Achievement Awards for her dedication to improving the lives of everyone living with diabetes around the world. 

Please join us in congratulating Professor Trisha Dunning and wishing her all the best in her retirement!
