We have been working with the Tasmanian community since 1955, to prevent and reduce the impact of diabetes.

We work to assist Tasmanians living with diabetes. We do this by providing high quality diabetes education throughout Tasmania and work in partnership with state and federal governments and other organisations. We use best practice clinical methods and professional clinicians to deliver our health services.

Supporting the diabetes community in Tasmania

We have a range of health professionals, programs, events, resources and support to help you.

Have you been told you are at risk of diabetes and would like help to prevent it?
Do you have diabetes and would you like help to better manage it? Or would you simply like to learn more about diabetes?

Whether you are a member of the public or a health professional in Tasmania, we have qualified diabetes educators, accredited practising dietitians and a range of programs and resources to support you. We offer:

• Group education
• Telephone health coaching – The COACH Program

An important part of the work we do is advocating for all people who live with diabetes at a national level. Find out more about advocacy.
