• Diabetes within Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities
• Kids, schools and prevention
• Diabetes management in aged care services

Get Involved - Ambassador Program

Ambassadors play a vital role in creating awareness about diabetes in the Western Australian community. If you are living with, affected by, or at risk of diabetes - or simply passionate about the cause - then you may be interested in becoming an ambassador for Diabetes WA.

As an ambassador, you will be able to inspire the community through your personal experiences with diabetes by participating in media activities and community events.

Diabetes WA will provide you with full support and guidance and you can choose to contribute as much, or as little, as you like.

If you are interested in becoming an ambassador, please contact the Community Relations team at Diabetes WA on community@diabeteswa.com.au or call 1300 136 588.
